The issue gives a work-around; there are certainly more available.
However, in general, it is a rather uncommon request – you shalt not
question LilyPond's vertical spacing decisions :-) To be serious: what
is your exact use case? In most cases it looks weird if the vertical
spacing suddenly changes.

`\unset` restores the default value of a context property, it doesn't
revert a set value.
Example:
```

\unset autoBeaming
