Lilypond-extending.  In particular programming-interface.  I'll need to
rework parts of it once I am through with my current bout of syntax
changes, but it is still what you will want to be reading.  The notation
manual has a bunch of appendices that can be worth looking at, and
ly/music-functions-init.ly provides a nice potpourri of examples at
various levels of intricateness.  Most guile is mainly interwoven with
the user interface: the bowels of Lilypond still do most of its
processing in C++.
