I think docs explain it and examples "do exemplify it": lilypond music
expressions are like math expressions: by adding new parts connected
by operators you can build bigger expressions such as -(2+3) from
smaller ones such as 2+3.

Now in lilypond you can have { f g a b } which is a music expression
and so are these:

\relative c { f g a b }
\transpose c c' \relative c { f g a b }
\new Staff \transpose c c' \relative c { f g a b }

et cetera.
