A-ha. Thank you. So, "What is needed to get ob-lilypond to support LaTeX 
floats and captions" is to RTFM ;)

I have often exported source code to LaTeX listings, but only infrequently 
exported results. So I wasn't clear on the mechanism. Now that you explain 
it, it makes perfect sense: the properties belong to an entity that I asked 
it not to export.

Thanks again - I can take it from here.

(PS This project is a write-up of an improvisational composition -- a lot 
of text description of the procedure, with some examples in musical 
notation along the way. It blows my mind that I can write the lilypond 
scores directly into the org document, and it all renders with C-c C-e l p. 
org-mode FTW! Again!)
