I think it describes a lot more than just the syntax.
Sorry, I was misusing a word again -- I didn't mean "syntax". I should have said "the lilypond input format". Or even better,
How to write the text files that lilypond interprets. Does not include complete details about properties, contexts, etc.
Internals Reference: defines the "under the hood" lilypond stuff.Which doesn't really make sense, since you have to look under the hood every time you want to make a property setting.
Err, remember that the Program Reference is now the IR. The NR will describe how to construct tweaks in a compact manner, the LM will describe how to construct tweaks in a legible manner, but finding out what the Voice #'padding property does (and what the default value is!) is only done in the IR.
(in this case, #'padding is used as examples in the LM and NR, so of course people will know about it -- but the actual place to find this info is the IR)
Cheers, - Graham
