Hi Peter,
many of us have struggled for many months to get to grips with the

Hi,
The current examples present the minimum information necessary to demonstrate
the feature.
This follows lilypond's approach, which is to invent everything needed that
you didn't specify, like books, scores, staves, time signatues, clefs,
barlines, etc.
This *is* a potential
of
being lost in a sea of hieroglyphs.

Hi Peter,
I'm not sure that my response is suitable for the list
It *definitely* is!
Please feel free to critisize scorn or otherwise flame.
I’m sorry your default expectation is to be critisized, scorned, or flamed —
that hasn’t been my primary experience on this list (as a newbie more
have I left out above?
(Also, my sense is that LilyPond may or may not have the kind of systematic
consistency that some are looking for?)
Cheers,

As I start to gain experience in setting music in Lilypond I am trying
to understand more about how it works internally. As well as personal
satisfaction, this obviously has a practical aim: it will make it easier

Dear David,
as a small addition and a partly similar answer to Urs’, I think the point is:
LilyPond tries to suggest (or even enforce as a default) conventions of classic
music notation. This comprises for example that clefs are repeated for each line
but the time signature isn’t.
In your case,
Hello,
Is there a manual for the lilypond language itself ?
I don't get it ... is it a programming language ... a macro expander ...
all of the above ?
I cannot build a mental model of how it works.
For example, let's take variables. I take the notation reference, I look
at the index and I see

Hello David,
Many thanks for your reply. :-)
I was giving the variable example as a kind of difficulty I have. I
appreciate the fish you are giving to me but I want to learn how to

For example you say
