+@cindex simple closure
+
+In Scheme, a @strong{closure} is created when a function, usually
+a lambda expression, is passed as a variable.  The closure contains
+the function's code plus references to the lexical bindings of the
+function's free variables (i.e. those variables used in the
+expression but defined outside it).  When this function is applied
+to different arguments later, the free variable bindings that were
+captured in the closure are used to obtain the values of the free
+variables to be used in the calculation.  One useful property of
+closures is the retention of internal variable values between
+invocations, so permitting state to be maintained.
+
+A @strong{simple closure} is a closure whose expression has no free
+variables and hence no free variable bindings.
+
+A simple closure is represented in LilyPond by a smob containing
+the expression and a method to apply the expression to a passed

+A @strong{mutable} object is one whose state can be modified after
+creation, in contrast to an immutable object, whose state is fixed
+at the time of creation.
+
+In LilyPond, mutable properties contain values that are specific to
+one grob.  Typically, lists of other objects or results from
+computations are stored in mutable properties.

+
+A @strong{parser} analyzes the sequence of tokens produced by a
+lexer to determine its grammatical structure, grouping the tokens
+progressively into larger groupings according to the rules of the
+grammar.  If the sequence of tokens is valid the end product is a
+tree of tokens whose root is the grammar's start symbol.  If this
+cannot be achieved the file is invalid and an appropriate error
+message is produced.  The syntactic groupings and the rules for
+constructing the groupings from their parts for the LilyPond syntax
+are defined in @file{lily/parser.yy} and shown in Backus Normal Form
+(BNF) in @ref{LilyPond grammar}.  This file is used to build the
+parser during the program build by the parser generator, Bison.  It
+is part of the source code and is not included in the LilyPond

+@strong{Smobs}, or ScheMe OBjects, are part of the mechanism used
+by Guile to export C and C++ objects to Scheme code.  In LilyPond,
+smobs are created from C++ objects through macros.  There are two
+types of smob objects: simple smobs, intended for simple immutable
+objects like numbers, and complex smobs, used for objects with
+identities.  If you have access to the LilyPond sources, more
