Grobs
This section is about Grobs (short for Graphical Objects), which are formatting objects used to create the final output. This material is normally the domain of LilyPond gurus, but occasionally, a normal user also has to deal with grobs.
The most simple interaction with Grobs are when you use
\override:
\property Voice.Stem \override #'direction = #1
This piece of lily input causes all stem objects to be stem-up
henceforth. In effect, you are telling lilypond to extend the definition
of the `Stem' grob with the setting direction := 1.
