I once asked this and this was the answer: http://www.nabble.com/Atomic-expression--to12995140.html#a13006974 I don't really know the internals in detail, but I think the LilyPond language is complex because it mixes the expansion language Scheme along with notes+lyrics+chords modes, and at the same time it conserves the simplicity needed for everyday scores trhough a number of implicit constructs. Probably this is where the word 'dirty' comes from. Yes, I'd also like to see those nice Pascal language diagrams I had to learn years ago. A perfectly clean syntax would be desirable to ease the development of third party plugins for editors etc. -- Francisco Vila.
