RE: Documentation of Architecture / Design?

[Carl D. Sorensen]

Doug,

I've also been trying to get involved with a new feature, and spent a
lot of hours trying to understand code just to answer these types of
questions.  I'd like to see such a reference as well.

I'd be willing to dump whatever knowledge I have into the Lilypond
Architecture Manual (LAR?), but I clearly have no inside information to
contribute -- just what I can deduce from the code.

Anyway, such an animal would be very helpful for me.

All,

I've recently gotten involved in the lilypond cause (2 bug fixes
submitted, a couple of features underway).  My problem is I don't have a
firm understanding of how everything comes together.  I've read through
the Programmer's Reference (PR), but it isn't what I'm looking for.

I think what's needed is a document describing the following things:

- What's a grob, and how is one used?

- What's a smob, and how is one used?
