Just to echo what Urs wrote, it is unclear what exactly you want. Can
you provide a small snippet of code
(http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html) or a (small size) image or
anything else to maybe illustrate what you want?

If you really want to do this arithmetic-y stuff (btw, about that: do
you mean multiply, add, etc. the *pitches* only, or the
rhythms/dynamics too, or something else?), I am guessing that would
require quite a hefty procedure, though it certainly is possible (also
already said by Urs).

I wonder if you mean that you want to get the average or median pitch
for each *grid* cell. Or maybe you have a specific algorithm in mind?
