Whether it is apparent to you or not I can tell you categorically as one
of the original authors what the intention was.  The Learning Manual
was intended to be read sequentially from start to finish to establish
the basic essential knowledge.  The Notation Reference was intended
to be exactly what it's title says - a reference manual to be accessed
directly as needed to look up points of detail - after the Learning 
Manual
has been digested.

This is pretty much what appears as the very first sentence in the NR:

"This manual provides a reference for all notation that can be produced
with LilyPond version 2.19.81. It assumes that the reader is familiar
with the material in the Learning Manual."

Actually, not.  The documentation is far from perfect, but no one
is actively working on documentation ATM.  Old stagers like me
sort of lost interest or became discouraged by the battles required to
force changes through the system.
