I've seen warnings about "backend properties" not existing, but I've  
never bothered to figure out when they do (and do not) pop up.
Maybe it pops up when the setting is in a \layout block, but not in  
the actual music "stream"??
Hopefully someone else has a better (i.e., the correct) answer.

Best wishes,
Kieren.
