Scheme and Guile as it relates to Lilypond

In my endeavors to learn Scheme I have noticed a number of function calls in Lilypond which are not covered in non-Guile documentation.  One example is define-public but there are others (the later appears to be a convenience notation for a "regular" Scheme construct).  I am assuming that these are created from other Scheme scripts.  I know in Perl that one can have non-existent functions auto-loaded during run time and then parsed and inserted into the symbol table for later use.  Is that what Guile is doing?

Bottom line:  Does it matter which Scheme interpreter and/or documentation I choose.  Any recommendations outside of Guile? (I am having trouble getting it to work on Windows).

Thanks,
Jim
