These must always be present in exactly this form. This is the
most common command used in tweaking, and most of the rest of
this chapter will be directed to presenting examples of how it is

-Both the @code{\override} and the @code{\set} commands may be
-prefixed by @code{\once}. This causes the following

+The final tweaking command which is available is @code{\tweak}. This
+should be used when several objects occur at the same musical moment,
+but you only want to change the properties of selected ones, such as a

item in the input stream.
Here's an example. Suppose we wish to change the size of the

the input stream, essentially note heads and articulations;
objects such as stems and accidentals are created later and
-cannot be tweaked in this way. Furthermore, when it is applied
-to note heads these @emph{must} be within a chord, i.e., within
-single angle brackets, so to tweak a single note the @code{\tweak}
-command must be placed inside single angle brackets with the
-note.
+cannot be tweaked in this way.
So to return to our example, the size of the middle note of
a chord would be changed in this way:

-Note that the @code{\tweak} command must be preceded by an
-articulation mark as if it were an articulation itself.
+Note that the @code{\tweak} command must be preceded by an articulation
+mark since the tweaked expression needs to be applied as an articulation
+itself. In case of multiple direction overrides (@code{^} or @code{_}),
+the leftmost override wins since it is applied last.

The final question is, @q{Where should this command be
placed?} While you are unsure and learning, the best
need is @code{'#(#f #f #f)}. Let's try that, remembering to include
the @code{Staff} context. Note also that in writing this value we
have @code{#'#} before the opening bracket. The @code{'#} is required
-as part of the value to introduce a vector, and the first @code{#} is
