The docs do make considerable effort to explain, e.g., http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/contexts-and-engravers . If at all, I might criticize this for being in the wrong order: 2. Common Notation, 3. Fundamental Concepts - but how can we use or learn a language (syntax, notation) without knowing its underlying semantical model first?
That is because many people who get a go at LilyPond (such as me) are not programmers, but musicians with little background knowledge about or experience with programming. It seems that a majority of LilyPond users are either music professionals with a knack for logics and programming, or (active or retired) programmers who are hobby musicians. It’s hard to satisfy both at once.
