Comment #20 on issue 2883 by [email protected]: Patch: Make arguments like Context.GrobName accessible as symbol lists
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2883

I suggest letting the documentation (and other convert-ly-ed files) continue with the old form
   \override Grob property = #value
even if we accept
   \override Context.Grob = #value

My reasons are (1) the simple forms of \tweak and \override with simple arguments without dots are by far the most common, and (2) the space helps me remember that in
   \override Context.Grob property.subproperty.detail = #value
I will always need to tell LilyPond the Grob and the property, occasionally with dotted forms when I need to be more specific.

It would be helpful to upload the functional changes only (http://codereview.appspot.com/6733044) and not the automated changes. Reviewers would then need to run convert-ly on selected Documentation/ themselves. (Link in parentheses to hide it from patchy.)
