First, you need the note, eg "C above middle C", which is c''. Next comes whether to display any accidentals, which is a property of the note, as is the length. So logically those could be swapped, but I think lily says they have to be in that order. Finally come all the ornamentations - accents, markups, dynamics, etc which have no tight binding to the note, only the note location, so can come in any order. I have my own consistent pattern, but that's just to make it easy for me, lily doesn't care.
