There is no getting around the fact that lilypond is a programming language.  I don't see how to bridge that gap except with GUIs.  Even then, the GUI would have different docs than the language.

This is probably no consolation, but it makes me feel frustrated as a professional programmer that after years of using lilypond, I still have very little clue how it works and more often than I care to recognize makes me call my own competence into question.

Harald Christiansen asked a similar question here <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-04/msg00198.html> – perhaps the thread may be helpful.

Yours, Simon
