What do you call "its music stream representation"?  LilyPond does not
have something like a music stream.  It has music expressions, and it
can iterate them resulting in stream events in a certain order (and
there is some event recorder for the part combiner and music quotes that
can save those events).

But there is nothing I'd call a "music stream representation".
