I have been reviewing the online manuals and am having trouble finding documentation that describes the overall architecture of the Lilypond system. I am primarily talking about the interaction of .ly and .scm files (how they are parsed by the C++ code would be welcome too). When I look at the Internals Reference, for example, it looks like it would be very useful for someone who was already familiar with the call sequences and class structure and the overall operation of lilypond. But I haven't found something which explains how everything actually ties together. For example, the contents of the types list for an AbsoluteDynamicEvent are '(general-music event dynamic-event absolute-dynamic-event). This looks almost like a class event hierarchy of said event. But I could not find what general-music meant (I searched the pdf files) or how each element in the list relates to each other. Elsewhere I found the general-music term at the end of a types list. I checked the bnf but that just specifies syntax. Of course this is just one of many mysteries I would like to understand.
