Sorry Aaron, I was not precise in my question.
I need to override a property of StaffSymbol, for every staff, outside any
music expression/block context. Probably I'm not using the right words even
now.
But what I need is a sort of a "global" variable which is set for any staff
without having to put it into some music expression (like \layout {\context
{...}} , or \new Staff \with { ... } etc.).
This is why I asked if is there a Scheme solution
thanks!
