You can also get this by right-clicking on the Lilypond application and
selecting show package contents. That takes you to
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/
and you can use the normal finder from there.
cd /Applications/LilyPond.app
find . -name 'property-init.ly'
Better suggestion:
cd /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/
Whenever we make a comment about a lilypond file -- say,
ly/property-init.ly -- it will show up on your system as
{}/ly/property-init.ly, where {} is the directory above.
Very true.
I remember that it took me a while to figure out. Maybe the exact
comments above could add to the docs as a small section called
LilyPond File Organization?
I was just looking through the manual to see where that section might
fit. A new section 5.8 or 10.8 might work ... but I'm not sure ...
maybe a new appendix is better?
(The only comparison point I have handy are the Mathematica docs,
which include a Mathematica File Organization section as appendix
A.8 out of A.13.)
Eventually something similar in structure to the ROADMAP textfile in
the sourceball -- but targetted like the user manual (ie, at regular
users rather than develoeprs) -- would probably be nice, since knowing
how to look through the installation resources is, as Carrick was
finding out, still very useful indeed :-)

Re: How to 'unset something
There are days that I feel stupider than this I'm sure but... First finding this file was nearly impossible the website docs are misleading. (Graham there is no documentation 'index' sidebar for example) Then when I did get to something describing property-init.ly it speaks to items that have multiple \'s and so how to 'revert' from a \set is definitely unclear (at least to me). So I looked at note head property to see if I could set a default in the middle of a piece and that produced an error message ignoring the command. So the bit I left out XP 2.6.4 Sorry in advance for being a dullard.

Including the Macintosh? If it's there, I can't find it with the most elaborate file-searching method I own.
