scm/define-music-types.scm defines the iterator-ctor to use if not the
default.  And the default is

Music_iterator::get_static_get_iterator (Music *m)
{
  Music_iterator *p = 0;

  SCM ctor = m->get_property ("iterator-ctor");
  SCM iter = SCM_EOL;
  if (ly_is_procedure (ctor))
{
  iter = scm_call_0 (ctor);
  p = unsmob (iter);
}
  else
{
  if (dynamic_cast (m))
p = new Music_wrapper_iterator;
  else if (m->is_mus_type ("event"))
p = new Event_iterator;
  else
p = new Simple_music_iterator;

  iter = p->self_scm ();
  p->unprotect ();
}

  p->music_ = m;
  assert (m);
  p->music_length_ = m->get_length ();
  p->start_mom_ = m->start_mom ();

  return iter;
}

It's not a matter of "trumping".  Only the outermost music expression is
iterated.  Its own iterator may decide to do iteration of some contents.

It does.  Those are pretty complex iterators exactly because they need
to coordinate when to create/call iterators for their contained
expressions.

Well, it may need information regarding the respective grob placements
in order to place the articulations in relation to them.

It depends on what you want to achieve.  The string number engraver does
just that.  Historically (before the advent of the
Rhythmic_event_iterator) that implied that only in-chord notes could get
string numbers.

_Either_ the Event_chord_iterator _or_ the Rhythmic_music_iterator are

broadcasts articulations, so they are _only_ removed and broadcast for

Huh, I was so sure I saw recursion in the broadcasting of events.  I 
need more coffee and/or sleep.  :/


Out of curiosity, how does Lilypond decide which iterator-ctor to 
consult and instanciate?  Is it something like the outer container of 
EventChord trumping the contained NoteEvents?  But then why does the 
same not apply to SimultaneousMusic or SequentialMusic?



If you want to do anything with chord note articulations, you have to
listen for the chord notes and look at their articulations property.


Is there a best practice between listening for events vs. acknowledging 
grobs?  I noticed that New_fingering_engraver--which needs to handle 
articulations within chords--opts to acknowledge rather than listen.


Also, it does seem that special care would need to be taken to unify the 
results of handling events that are broadcast vs. the ones that need to 
be wrestled from the clutches of chords.  Or, would it be more 
appropriate (read: sane) to never listen directly to such post-events 
and instead just listen for the rhythmic-events, querying their 
articulations as appropriate?  (The latter seems like it could be 
inefficient.)

_Either_ the Event_chord_iterator _or_ the Rhythmic_music_iterator are
doing the broadcasting of note events, depending on whether the notes
are within a chord or not.  _Only_ the Rhythmic_music_iterator
broadcasts articulations, so they are _only_ removed and broadcast for
non-chord notes, and actually only if there is a listener for them,
otherwise they are kept on the rhythmic event like articulations on
chord notes _always_ are.

If you want to do anything with chord note articulations, you have to
listen for the chord notes and look at their articulations property.
