You can try running lilypond with --debug, but you have to edit
.dstreamrc to filter the information. ( a sample dstreamrc is provided
with the Lilypond tarball)
I could make a Context_structure_engraver that would print the
structure right within the music -- or perhaps dump it onto stdout.
Would you like that?

You know the doco is available from the Web? See

(BTW, I added a --no-pictures option to mudela-book; that should work
around your pnmcrop problems)
