ly file definitions and layout

[Jim Sabatke]

Is there a document that describes the layout of an ly file? 
 I've looked for a couple days and haven't found one.

I ask this because I can't seem to integrate \score into my 
files and get expected output.  I've followed example files 
that I've found via grep, and none of the layouts seem to work.

I was using this format:

\header { ... }
\paper { ... }
\notes {  ...
           { lots of notes }
}

and that worked almost well enough, except that page 
numbering and taglines didn't work.

Then I tried every variation of using \score that I could 
think of, or find by example.  The closest I could get was:

\header { ... }

\score {
   \notes {
            { notes }
   }

    \paper {

     }
}

This ignored all header into, but did split the piece into 
two pages, which didn't happen by the previous method.

I'm completely lost.  Is there a reference for this?
