actually, Scheme syntax is incredibly simple - Scheme expressions are lists (a b c) with the first element being the procedure and the subsequent ones the parameters. So if you come across (if a b) you look up the procedure "if" in the documentation, rather than having to learn a bunch of keywords (if, case, else ...) which have special syntax peculiar to them. > - There are so many Scheme dialects, the only one relevant to LilyPond is the guile-1.8 interpreter. In Denemo we have moved on to guile-2.0 but I haven't come across other interpreters for Scheme, though I've noticed them mentioned in the Guile documentation.
