Hi David,

Here's one place (of many):
   <http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/documentation-adding>

> It does not say what kind of code to put where for what reason.

<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/LilyPond- 
programming-languages#LilyPond-programming-languages>

"Programming in LilyPond is done in a variety of programming  
languages. Each language is used for a specific purpose or purposes.  
This section describes the languages used and provides links to  
reference manuals and tutorials for the relevant language. […] The  
core functionality of LilyPond is implemented in C++. The C++ code  
calls Scheme/GUILE through the GUILE interface […] The LilyPond  
parser is implemented in Bison, a GNU parser generator. […] GUILE is  
the dialect of Scheme that is used as LilyPond’s extension language.  
Many extensions to LilyPond are written entirely in GUILE."
etc.

OK, then submit a feature request — rant on -user does not count —  
and maybe someone in the know will help out.
I wish I could help out, but I don't know enough about Lilypond to  
write (or even start writing) such a page.

Good luck,
Kieren.
