Ok.  Please don't fix it yourself, or it will interfere with the patch I
am working on.

I am also replacing the flowery language "Use like @code{\\tweak}." and
"Use like @code{\\once}." since neither makes any sense whatsoever: you
don't use the first before a postevent, and you don't use the second
before a set/override.  I assume the first is supposed to mean "use like
an articulation" and the second "affects every grob of the given type in
the current timestep".
