If it needs to be separate, why mention it at all in the NR? I'd just make it a 
"manual" of its own, linked on http://lilypond.org/manuals ,  and perhaps 
mention it
on 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/overview-of-manuals.html 
and/or somewhere in 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/the-internals-reference-manual
 .
