Not completely.  In particular, some engravers might get to see the
\startGroup before other engravers see the \stopGroup.  Also things like
\startGroup and \stopGroup are quite likely to be placed in a separate
music variable that is being combined using parallel music.  So while
there is a typical order of events, it's not a guaranteed one.

I'd have to take a closer look.  So far, I've mostly did code review by
reflex, just knowing what kind of trouble LilyPond is prone to cause.

Oh.  This means that

  c'\startGroup\stopGroup

and

  c'\stopGroup\startGroup

can't be reliably distinguished?

Hmm.  I got the impression that `listen_note_grouping' is this
recording-events phase.

It would be nice if we find a solution for that.

For simultaneous events, LilyPond has no order.  That's why one needs to
have one phase for recording events and another for doing something
based on them.

There is a very tricky exception in order to distinguish

[Some override] \grace { ...

from

\grace { [Some override] ...

since \grace itself overrides a number of properties (mostly sizes) and
the order needs to be heeded.  The grace iterator creates special events
for that purpose.

Maybe the infamous issue 34 could be tackled as part of that mechanism?
Not sure about that.

Right, thanks for noticing.  I've fixed this – to a certain extent,
see comments in the attached new version of the patch.

If someone is going to rewrite the algorithm, the order of events
should be obeyed.  To allow overlapping horizontal brackets, hopefully
the same mechanism as used for overlapping slurs can be used.

"which might not have caused a new element"?  That sounds like this may
or may not suppress an actually warranted warning.

Correct?

Those number changes do not appear like reflecting some design but
rather like poking the code until the wanted construct happens not to
cause warnings or errors.  Why increase push/pop counts by 2 when
admitting one more level?  Why allow popping exactly 1 more than
pushing?
