Wow, this is exactly the kind of thing I would have wanted to write back
in the days when I used Pd but didn't have proper programming knowledge!

python-ly is the library that does the editor's ground work in the
Frescobaldi IDE.

The fundamental difference between using something like python-ly and
writing Scheme is that the former acts upon the input files while the
latter works directly from within the LilyPond compilation.

If you want to look into (LilyPond-)Scheme I can sort-of recommend my
work-in-progress at https://scheme-book.ursliska.de. It's far from
complete (especially there's nothing yet about the really interesting
stuff when it comes to interaction between Scheme and LilyPond) but I
tried hard to give it just the right information and verbosity a
LilyPond user would need.

As you seem willing and able to juggle around with tools and formats you
could also have a look at MusicXML or MEI, the two XML formats for
encoding music. If you manage to get your content into XML its tools
should be like made for operations like those you need.

Good luck
