Re: Specify Multiple Properties ?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Not unless you define your own LilyPond command that takes several 
arguments and assigns them to different
properties, see Sections "Extending music syntax" and
"Using LilyPond syntax inside Scheme" in the manual.

What would you gain from it? If you want to do the same
group of settings a number of times in the score, just
make a macro:

set_rit = {
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'("rit. " . "")
\override TextSpanner #'padding = #1.5
}
