Adam,
You should download the source code. Instructions are here:
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/devel/contrib-guide/Starting-with-git.html
If that's too much to handle for the moment, you can browse the entire
source, without having to download it, here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=tree
Some spots where you can look...
The ly/ and scm/ folders come with LilyPond (look in
LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/). You need the source to look in
lily/.
ly/property-init.ly - line 133
scm/define-context-properties.scm - line 388
lily/note-heads-engraver.cc - line l85
Do you want help with the Hamparsum stuff? If you post an example png
with a brief explanation, I might be able to help you get started. I
couldn't easily find any English language resources online.
