There's plenty to be had by searching, resources like http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/t-y-scheme/t-y-scheme.html. There isn't much that is specifically geared to our flavor of Scheme, but I haven't found this to be much of an issue. The harder part is learning the LilyPond-specific-stuff -- or at least taking it to the level of functions such as I referred you to above. There is Extending and the list of Scheme functions in the Internals Reference < http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/scheme-functions>. Otherwise, what I know comes from the lists, reading code, and experimenting.... A tutorial for this is ever on the TODO list. And, or course, you can ask Scheme questions on the user list. You'll pretty much always get a ready answer. DN
