I.e. Do \header, \page and other contexts )introduce new variable scopes (assuming yes here)? If so, how can )scheme functions and variables be defined globally for access in all such )scopes within a lilypond project?
I am not a scheme programmer but want to check that you have considered the \include and \global settings? http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/working-with-input-files Simply put; have a single file with all your 'global' settings in and then you can include other files that you need - for instance many of the mutopia scores that are in LilyPond format are done like this with a single 'global' file - the main score and all the various instrument files - the notes - done separately. You can then add the scheme functions to the one file and then just include that file in all your other .ly files as needed. Hope this helps.
