Hi Anne, I'd suggest you start by joining the Frogs [1]. As a Frog, you will get some get some help in exploring lilypond's internals for the first time. You could also have a look at the bug tracker [2] if you want ideas for a project. Have a look, in particular, at the bugs with priority "Low" or "Postponed" (they're not marked as such because they're unimportant but because the fixes are nontrivial, so one of them might make a good-sized project). If you're at all interested in ancient notation, we have a lot of good bugs. Or if you have something in mind, feel free to suggest it.
You'll need to know some scheme and C++; the degree to which you need one or the other depends on what sort of things you work on. We don't use any super-fancy features of C++ so you should have no difficulty with your Java and C background. Welcome to lilypond!
