This is a limitation of the current Edition Engraver. If there are no similar 
grobs in the score at the same moment, you can simply push the mod to an 
enclosing context (e.g., Staff or Score), but when you’ve got multiple similar 
grobs — like in your example — I know of no workaround; you simply have to put 
the tweak in the content.

There have been discussions of improving [or even rewriting] the EE to accept 
explicit context ids, which would solve your problem. But for now, I believe 
what you want to do can’t be done.

Sorry,
Kieren.
