You mean "I bet there are fewer than..." ;-)
In all seriousness, while it may be true that "knowledge of formal
grammar is [not] necessary to be a good writer", it is undeniable
that better grammarians make better writers, all other things being
equal.
That is to say, content presented with bad grammar is less easy/
interesting/enjoyable to read than the same content written
"correctly" -- and the content is therefore less effective at
accomplishing its main purpose, which is communication.
Cheers,
Kieren.

Might not the same arguments be applied to the benefits of knowing
Lilypond's "grammar?"
Ah, Cheers!
