Agreed! But in this case you change the defaults not per definition! The 
change happens
later in the document.

If you did the chang after a matrix for 14 columns, then you have to 
save this value.
For a following matrix with 12 columns, you shouldn't change the counter 
value
back to 12.  Only the greatest number of colums should saved.
