or we could omit the \once command and use the \revert command to return the thickness
property to its default value after the second slur:
{
}
\key es \major
\time 6/8
{
r4 bes8
% Increase thickness of all following slurs from 1.2 to 5.0
\override Slur.thickness = #5.0
bes[( g]) g |
g8[( es]) es
% Revert thickness of all following slurs to default of 1.2
\revert Slur.thickness
d8[( f]) as |
as8 g
}
\addlyrics {
The man who | feels love's sweet e -- | mo -- tion
}
8

sweet
The
love's e
man who feels
motion
The \revert command can be used to return any property changed with \override back to
its default value. You may use whichever method best suits what you want to do.
That concludes our introduction to the IR, and the basic method of tweaking. Several examples
follow in the later sections of this Chapter, partly to introduce you to some of the additional
features of the IR, and partly to give you more practice in extracting information from it. These
examples will contain progressively fewer words of guidance and explanation.
