Yes, this is understandable.
But after all your example is not that easy. There are several things that are 
non-standard notation, and LilyPond "thinks" in semantics and structure. 
On the long run this is a terrific strength
, but for a start it may be daunting that you can't simply pull things around 
like in a graphics program.
