This is how I've done this.  Just put it in an include file and the user 
doesn't need to do anything but include the file.


#(set-object-property! 'myprop 'backend-type? integer?)

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \override SomeGrob.myprop = 1
  }
}


You may be able to swap out \Score for \Staff if you don't want to 
restrict it to \Staff.
