as a joke. Maybe he can explain a bit more? It looks like he is trying
to trick LilyPond into doing something, and there might be a way to get
it to do it without tricks, leading to more reliable results.

Ah, to be young in such interesting times... When I was young, the
Internet was too small to be useful. And there was no manual anyway.
If you needed to figure something out about software, you could always
use a disassembler if the source code was not around. Or write a letter
with return postage to someone you knew to be helpful.
LilyPond indeed has a manual, and it seems rather unlikely that the OP
would have gotten just as far as he did with his first piece using
LilyPond without taking quite a bit more than a passing glance at it.
The manual shows you how to do a lot of things but sometimes it is hard
to guess just what combination of things might be a good and what might
be a bad idea for getting somewhere.
When you have all the information but piece it together for some task in
a manner that's not the best idea, the manual won't tell you.
Fortunately, LilyPond has a helpful mailing list where people are
willing to share their experience and explain the subtleties.
Let's keep it that way.
