Hi Wim,
 From the Notation Reference... 5.3.3 - 5.3.4
"...
\once can be used with \override to affect only the current time step:
     {
       <<
         {
           \override Stem #'thickness = #3.0
           e4 e e e
         } \\ {
           c4	%this is default

           \once \override Stem #'thickness = #3.0
           c4	%this one is changed

	c c	%these two revert to default
         }
       >>
     }
...
...
When several similar items are placed at the same musical moment, the 
\override command cannot be used to modify just one of them – this is 
where the \tweak command must be used. Items which may appear more than 
once at the same musical moment include the following:

     note heads of notes inside a chord
     articulation signs on a single note
     ties between notes in a chord
     tuplet brackets starting at the same time
..."

I'm pleased to have been of help. :)
Regards
Bill
