Comment #6 on issue 3649 by address@hidden: Patch: Fill in section "\set vs \override"
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3649

Well, Keith's comments mostly addressed questions by another commenter. The summary line of Keith's comments was

"Maybe the text need not describe the implementation of context- and grob-
properties so much, but it is in any case a good addition to the docs."

Actually, the text does not "describe the implementation [...] so much" but mostly points out that one is implemented on top of the other with separate data structures and consequently separate commands and behaviors.

So Keith says the text tells probably too much, benrg complains that it does not tell an answer to the question "why" and wants a historical run-down.

I suppose as long as everybody is equally unhappy in opposite directions, the result is at least a step in the right direction. Since this is slated to go into 2.18, would quite benefit from the translators catching up with it, and since it is not factually "buggy" (I'm quite positive that I understand the situation correctly and hopefully phrased it into mostly useful words), I'm overriding the "needs_work" label here and pushing it today.

The only improvement conceivable would be a restructure/rewrite of the whole chapter. That would likely be a good idea, but definitely not for 2.18.
