\offset only works on properties that have a default value listed in the grob pages in the IR (derived from the alist in scm/define-grobs.scm). There is no default value listed for KeyCancellation.X-extent, hence the warning.

Well, the point was that exactly for this case it would be great to tell lily ‘Increase this property by two, no matter what it previously was’, e.g. ‘Offset KeyCancellation’s X-extent by #'(0 . 2) (so it will have two units whitespace at the right), regardless of how wide it would normally be’. That would be a very powerful use case for \offset, if also the technical limitations might be non-trivial.

Best, Simon
