Hi,
I, like the original poster, was also intrigued, by people's
enthusiastic comments about the power of OpenLilyLib and the Edition
Engraver. And like the O.P. I never really got started.
I guess the question is: How complex a LilyPonds score has to be
before EE really starts making things easier instead of just adding
more difficulties?
I think for seriously discussing this trade-off one should (maybe
grudgingly) ignore the lack of documentation. The actual effort of
integrating the edition-engraver in a set-up is pretty low, once you
know how it's done.
In my view the separation of content and presentation has two aspects
that matter most for the use of the edition-engraver, and if they are of
any relevance for one's projects it makes sense to use it, even in
smaller projects/scores:
* Separate sets of tweaks (or "rendering hints", a term that is common
in the music encoding community) for separate engraving targets.
It's cleaner to control the engraving for, say, score vs. parts or
print vs. screen display. One feature I regularly use is providing
alternative sets of line/page breaks to have it match the manuscript
while copying or proof-reading.
* Cleanness of the input files. I currently work on a project where
the input files will be part of the published edition, and there
must not be any custom \override or \tweak in them, only the
editorial content.
The general advanatage of using the openLilyLib infrastructure is
* for the *user*: it provides sets of additional functionality that is
neatly packaged and easily available. You can sort-of read through
https://github.com/openlilylib/scholarly/blob/master/documentation/scholarly.md
to get an example for a package that has already been documented.
* more for the package developer (but also accessible to end-user
documents): oll-core provides a set of basic functionality that can
pretty efficiently be used to build more complex functionality in a
modular manner.

Hi Reggie,
> is that all the documentation for such a powerful tweak tool in
lilyPond?
Yes, unfortunately.
And, to be accurate, it’s not "in" Lilypond — it’s a separate library.
> How do new users learn this tool and all its possibilites?
I learned by looking at the examples, trial and error, and asking
Jan-Peter (the author) every now and then. =)
Cheers,
Kieren.
