lilypond-learning: The revert command
The ‘\revert’ command
.....................
Once overridden, the property retains its new value until it is
overridden again or a ‘\revert’ command is encountered. The ‘\revert’
command has the following syntax and causes the value of the property to
revert to its original default value; note, not its previous value if
several ‘\override’ commands have been issued.
\revert CONTEXT.LAYOUTOBJECT.LAYOUT-PROPERTY
Again, just like CONTEXT in the ‘\override’ command, CONTEXT is often
not needed. It will be omitted in many of the following examples. Here
we revert the color of the note head to the default value for the final
two notes:
c4 d
\override NoteHead.color = #red
e4 f |
\override NoteHead.color = #green
g4 a
\revert NoteHead.color
b4 c |
