You can also follow the logic of the code.  For example, let's say that you 
want to fiddle with the X-offset of a Grob.  Read through define-grobs.scm and 
look for all the X-offset callbacks in other grobs.  This'll give you an idea 
of how X-offsets are done in LilyPond.  I think that most current contributors 
learned the code this way.

I have never not responded sooner or later to a question from a newb (including 
Janek when he was starting out) about how to do something in LilyPond.
