Ultimately, my goal is to be able to design stylesheets that match certain “house styles” (e.g., Hanle, Chappell & Co., Peters). I find that many plate-engraved scores appear to have a slightly heavier overall look to the staff lines, so I wanted to increase them without necessarily increasing the others proportionally.
I agree, by default the staff lines look rather light in LilyPond. Perhaps you can make a point if you statistically show that hand-engraved scores use to have thicker staff lines in relation to other line thicknesses, such as to convince ‘the developers’ that we should change the default. In the meantime, I do think that it should be easier to override staff line thickness in a style sheet without changing other line thicknesses. And it really makes sense to have a context property ‘lineThickness’ as ‘master’ line thickness, instead of a grob property StaffSymbol.thickness. I’ll submit that as an enhancement request.
