here is a part of my source file


theMusic = \context Score
 <
  \context ChoirStaff = Choir <
   \context Staff = SopranoStaffOne <
   \property Staff.instrument = #"Soprano"
   \addlyrics
     \context Voice =         SopranoOneVoice { \SopranoOneNotes }
     \context Lyrics = SopranoOneLyrics { \SopranoOneLyrics }
   >
... here go other voices ...

the output I get is:

Interpreting music...
MIDI output to 'test.ly'
Track ... warning: no such instrument: 'soprano'

I know it is just a warning, but I would like not to have it. :-)

i am using lilypond version 1.8.1 (under cygwin)
