I would recommend the following books: Peter Seibel's book "Practical
Common Lisp", and "On Lisp" by Paul Graham.  That will give you a good
grasp of the LISP weltanschauung.  Then to switch over to Scheme, I'd
recommend the "Little Schemer", which will be quick and trivial after
you absorb the other two books.  SICP is one of those books everyone has
on their shelf but few people have actually read.  Like the Bible.

The three books listed above will still leave you needing to figure out
how the Guile and C++ of lilypond interact with each other and with
input .ly files.  Be nice if there was a writeup of that somewhere.
