\withMusicProperty bass ##t g

But I don't think that this is documented/guaranteed as a stable
interface to this kind of functionality.  There is also a more complex
property "inversion" (to be accompanied by "octavation").  Digging
through the code did not really suggest to me how these are supposed to
fit together.

I suspect that there was some original design, but after patching it up
afterwards to account for some problems, it might be indiscernible.
