Elements will use an existing method as a property accessor method if it maches the signature for that platform exactly, when it does this it promotes that method to match the access of the property. For .NET this is method get_PropertyName: String, for Cocoa method PropertyName: String and for Java this is getPropertyName: String. It works with any other name.

I was not lowering the access level of the property, it was a problem with the automatic Elements system mapping of properties and methods according to the platform.
Thanks Fernando.
