Thanks Ted, that works. The one remaining problem is restoring the default behaviour of melimas afterwards:
The "\once" trick doesn't work. I've also tried saving and restoring the default value of melismaBusyProperties in a temporary variable but, being ignorant of Scheme syntax, I just get a type error. Likewise, I'm out of my depth stumbling around with \override and \revert.
