Scaling Lilypond files in LyX

Hello LyX users. What an excellent software LyX is, once it gets used to you. However, when I try to insert a Lilypond file via Insert-File-External Material, the "Size and Rotation" tab is grayed out. Furthermore, clicking the LaTex and LyX options tab, the Scale on Screen box is grayed out as wel
