Erik,
That's a great document! I've read about half of it now and it does a
very good job to explain to me how LilyPond works. And seeing the
date on the title page, I think I have to congratulate you on your
Masters Degree! Well Done!
Off topic, but are your music streams implemented in the current 2.9
branch? From a structural point of view, it looks like a cleaner way
of doing things. You might even add the syllables of lyrics to the
music stream and do away with the current implementation. (Obviously,
I've never looked hard at the lily source code, but as a data
modeller, I like to see nice structured designs)
Congrats,
Arjan

Hello,
When I first read the manual I didn't see any clear explanation
of the
difference,
the docs could be more clear on that point. But when I realized
that one
was for grobs
and the other for context, it became much clearer, for me it helps
separating and understanding
grobs and contexts.
Context - another topic of my interest. It seems to me I haven't
understood them fully yet. I generally know what they are for, but
the
role of them is not fully clear to me.
You can read my master thesis if you like, it tries to explain the
context
concept (the appendix "music streams for the impatient" might be a
good choice
if you're in a hurry)

BTW: Graham, feel free to incorporate anything you like from the
report into the
manual.
