5.2.4 Naming conventions
Another thing that is needed, is an overview of the various naming conventions:
- scheme functions: lowercase-with-hyphens (also includes one-word names)
- LilyPond-specific scheme functions: ly:plus-scheme-style
- music events, music classes and music properties: as-scheme-functions
- Grob interfaces: scheme-style
- backend properties: scheme-style (but X and Y!)
- contexts (and MusicExpressions and grobs): Capitalized or CamelCase
- context properties: lowercaseFollowedByCamelCase
- engravers: Capitalized_followed_by_lowercase_and_with_underscores
Questions to be answered:
- Which of these are conventions and which are rules?
- Which are rules of the underlying language, and which are LilyPond-specific?
