#### 11.1.5 Displaying music expressions

When writing a music function, it is often instructive to inspect how a music expression is stored internally. This can be done with the music function `\displayMusic`.

    {
      \displayMusic { c'4\f }
    }

Conversely, displaying a music expression in LilyPond notation can be done using the music function `\displayLilyMusic`. For instance:

    {
      \displayLilyMusic \transpose c a, { c e g a bes }
    }

will display:

    { a, cis e fis g }
