Erik,That's a great document! I've read about half of it now and it does a very good job to explain to me how LilyPond works. And seeing the date on the title page, I think I have to congratulate you on your Masters Degree! Well Done!
Off topic, but are your music streams implemented in the current 2.9 branch? From a structural point of view, it looks like a cleaner way of doing things. You might even add the syllables of lyrics to the music stream and do away with the current implementation. (Obviously, I've never looked hard at the lily source code, but as a data modeller, I like to see nice structured designs)

But when I realized that onewas for grobs and the other for context, it became much clearer, for me it helps separating and understanding grobs and contexts.Context - another topic of my interest. It seems to me I haven'tunderstood them fully yet. I generally know what they are for, but therole of them is not fully clear to me.You can read my master thesis if you like, it tries to explain the context concept (the appendix "music streams for the impatient" might be a good choiceif you're in a hurry) http://home.student.uu.se/ersa9195/report.pdfBTW: Graham, feel free to incorporate anything you like from the report into themanual.
