The manual is very convoluted, but it probably has to be because 
Lilypond itself is a large project that does a lot of things, some 
of which take a bit of explaining. :) In addition, there's the 
perpetual problem that manuals have to be written by someone who 
already knows the topic, but one of the most important uses of a 
manual is for someone who knows little or nothing. (It's not true 
that any two such people are completely unintelligible to each 
other, but sometimes it feels like it.) I don't think there's any 
solution except tedious reading that has to be got through 
somehow.
