How would they then make it to the page? Suicided grobs have their
properties deleted prematurely, but those are not the rule.
Mind you, I would love to be shown that I am incorrect.
This is Scheme anyway. In general, objects persist as long as you are
able to reference them.
Wait, do grobs have a reference to the context?
I know you can use \applyOutput to process grobs at a given moment in
time, and that provides you access to both the grobs and the context.
And my snippet showed using an engraver to achieve something similar.
But within, say, a stencil procedure, it seems like you only have the
grob to work with. Is there some ly:grob-context method that I have
been overlooking?
