Well, one can always override back, so this remains a bit of a judgment  
call.  I was not suggesting that we make it a rule that any derived grob  
inherits everything from its parent: one needs to take into account the  
expected relations.

For the case where we split the previous Stem grob into separate Stem and  
Flag grobs, it would have made some sense to let some of the Flag  
properties be derived from the Stem properties by default.

We should aim for least element of surprise and best utility.  If a user  
overrides NoteHead (rather than Note, a hypothetical non-existing grob), he  
might be surprised if the stem is affected.  The flag may well be  
considered part of the Stem, however, and certainly the OctavateEight will  
in general be considered part of of the Clef.
