The paradigm in the beginning is confusing:

function =
    #(define-music-function (parser location var1 var2... )
                            (var1-type? var2-type?...)
      #{
        ...music...
      #})

where

argi        ith variable

argi-type?  type of variable  


It is clear what it means, of course, but a mathematician would be troubled
by a where clause which defines arguments which are not present in the
equation, and a musician may be confused by it, at least intially.
