Breaking autobeams and stem direction with acciaccaturas

thanks for the quick answer. I tried now to figure out how to apply changes to StaffSymbol properties. It seems they work only as \with \override for a new staff or inside the layout block. That would mean that they cannot be changed on the fly but are preset for every score. Is this correct?

The properties of a layout object are only read when the object is created, so for StaffSymbol, for example, this means that you have to do the setting at the top of the score. However, if you want to change it in the middle of a score, you can insert \stopStaff \startStaff which finishes the
