Lilypond BNF

[Carl Sorensen]

Almost a year ago, Pedro Kroger was working on a bnf description of
lilypond. (see  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-
devel/2004-10/msg00074.html).  Han-Wen suggested hacking Bison so that
it would produce the BNF directly from the .yy file.

I went a different direction, and produced a python script that ignores
all the C++ stuff in parser.yy, resulting in a BNF description of
lilypond that is generated directly from the parser.

I've attached the script (yy2bnf.py), along with the result of running
the script on the current CVS version of parser.yy (lilypond.bnf).

I'd like to suggest that lilypond.bnf be added to the documentation, to
be automatically generated as part of the make process, using yy2bnf.py.

Thanks,

Carl Sorensen
