This is actually documented in section 7.5.11. I do think, actually (and 
planned to do some work on it) that this should be expanded to be far 
more important in the manual.

I've got a half-written tutorial for lilypond, and it's intended to 
cover this sort of thing. I'm hoping to get some music I can set as a 
tutorial from one of my bandmasters, but what I would love is either a 
Sousa or Kenneth Alford March. Does anyone know where I can get an "out 
of copyright" copy to work on?

Cheers,

HEX wondered how much he should tell the Wizards. He felt it would not be a
good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
as Lies-to-People.
