They participate, in that their dimension fields are used for various

and a bbox.
Once a stencil is constructed, is it ever adjusted? That is, once the
stencil is made, does Lilypond ever go back in and shift the contents
around, or is it treated as a single unit from then on?
No it's read-only, so it's never changed.
2. The more I read the code and think about it, the more I think
stencil interpretation should be pushed to the back end and written in
Scheme.
what exactly do you want to push back?
The way I understand it, Lilypond constructs a stencil to represent an
object, and the largest stencils (lines? pages?) are then interpreted
to produce output. I suggest that the back ends should get the
stencils themselves.
There's nothing against that, but it may have a performance impact if
you do this. See stencil-interpret.cc for more info.
