The Scheme integration in the later 2.15 series has become much more
straightforward.  The documentation in that area has also seen more
improvement than most other parts of LilyPond, and the manual tells you
how you can use _LilyPond_ itself for getting a Scheme sandbox, thus not
requiring you to have a separate working Guile implementation.

So it might result in a better use of your time and frustration
tolerance to upgrade to a recent "developer" release and continue from
there.
