Name \i x Overrides
State a rule with one item replaced. The index is ZERO-BASED and counts what the reference PLAYS.
- Negative indices count from the end:
\-1is the last item. - Several overrides chain in one reference.
- An index past the end is an error.
- Brace the replacement if it carries marks of its own:
\3 {5 _2}. - An override must come before any mark on the reference.
The same rule, one note changed each time.
