I would suggest using some sort of text editor.  For example,
Notepad++ is easy to install and use on a Windows machine.  You can
open the folder Adam is pointing you to with "folder as workspace" and
easily search and navigate.  I would suggest that you also open
C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\scm since
there will no doubt be relevant materials there, too.

The function you mention elsewhere (ly:parser-set-note-names) is
written in C++, and the source isn't going to be on your computer with
just an install.  To examine and work with this code, I've got a
virtual machine set up.  (See the Contributor's Manual for
instructions.  This may be farther than you intend to go!  You can do
plenty with just ly and scm files.)

Hope this is helpful,

David
