I'm pretty sure you can't access measurePosition or measureLength by
overriding a NoteHead grob property.  They are context properties, and you
can't access a grob's context or context properties from a grob property
override.  

So that's what leads me to think that it will have to be working with
engravers or translators that have access to the context properties you want
to access and change.

I'm not sure exactly what it is you are trying to do...  Here are some
things to check out, if you haven't yet:

NoteHead grob (no measurePosition property)

Timing_translator (has the properties you want)
