Why not?  I'm sure a not so small amount of users would like to program
with LilyPond, so revising and extending the Scheme tutorial is a
solution IMHO.

It's not just a matter of telling you; teaching how to fish (or
programming Scheme) takes a long time, and I don't have that much time
to teach Scheme on the list for free.  GF proposed a lot of links in
