Just to satisfy personal curiosity, I am looking at the lilypond source code so I can get a better feel for what it is up to and how it accomplishes its job.
My understanding is that the parser constructs a scheme data structure which is subsequently processed by the iterators to turn it into a stream (or several streams) of musical events. Before I start looking at the iterators, I would like to see what they are working with for input. So, I have a few questions. Is my understanding correct that the parser produces a single scheme expression that is then processed for use in later stages? If I wanted to print out this mythical data structure, is there an easy way to do that? Is it something that is appropriate to pass to displayMusic or displayScheme? How do I get a reference to this data structure? What I would like to do is have lilypond parse some simple files that I would create for the purposes of seeing the different things that the parser generates. If at all possible, I would like to avoid making special hacks in the source for dumping out various data structures. If I can do what I want from scheme without touching the source, that would be ideal. However, I can compile lilypond 2.19.81 so if I need to make changes, that is an option.
