Re: must 'layer be "between 0 and 2"?

If you look up layers in the index to the Notation
Reference you'll find there that it says the layer
property should be set to an integer and most objects
are drawn by default with a value of 0 or 1.  Also
the example shown uses a value of -1.  Maybe we
ought to change define-grob-properties to reflect
this, though.
