because the properties need to take effect before the
Engravers::initialize() is called, and is not possible in 2.1.7 and
earlier.  The above example is stupid, the following would be better

        \translator Staff = up {
           \remove "Instrument_name_engraver"
           StaffSymbol \set #'line-count = #4
        } { .. }
