Using the example in the Org Manual doesn't seem to work although I am = new to emacs and org mode so maybe i'm not grasping the concept.
I = set org-use-inheritance to true, I saved the file and loaded it fresh = and tried C-c C-c on the #+PROPERTY line to refresh local = setup.

Problems:
1. If the property = is not yet used on an entry, tab completion only shows "property_ALL" = instead of "property", and of course there is no completion on possible = values. 
2. inherited properties - Where is the GENRES = property and the inheritance?
3. Is there a way to display = only some of the STANDARD properties along with my custom properties in = the completion buffer?
