I suppose you've seen the comments in lily/include/smobs.hh and lily/include/small-smobs.hh ? I know it's kind of unusual to expect useful information from source file comments, but those may have been phrased a bit more diligently than average. While the CG should certainly not be quiet here, those comments may at least be a reasonable starting point. -- David Kastrup
