It regularly causes confusion that individual ledger line stacks can’t simply 
be tweaked. I think this should be documented better, but it isn’t easy to find 
the right place for that. I’d suggest the following:

In LM 4.1.2 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/objects-and-interfaces>, 
at the end of the fourth paragraph, (i.e. in 
Documentation/learning/tweaks.itely, at the end of line 108) insert
"Spanners cannot be tweaked after their creation. This includes 
@code{StaffSymbol} and @code{LedgerLineSpanner}, which both continue throughout 
the score except if they are terminated by @code{\stopStaff} and newly created 
using @code{\startStaff}."

Although perhaps the last half-sentence should be replaced by a reference to a 
more detailed explanation (necessary anyway), e.g. in NR 5.3.1 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/overview-of-modifying-properties>
 (or elsewhere in 5.3).

Another theoretical possibility, which I would deem most helpful to users who 
encounter the problem, would be a remark at the top of the IR page for 
LedgerLineSpanner. But unfortunately (?) that would require major changes in 
the build system, IIUC.

Should we mark this BLOCKEDON: Issue [#3949]?
