You'll find that most of the "functional" claim in Scheme (and Lisp) is
a lie in practice. It's mostly a different syntax, but the programming
style is appallingly similar.
C preprocessor programming, for example, is often "I can warp it to look
like a function call". In Scheme and its ilk, pretty much everything
looks like a function call without warping.
And that's almost all. A functional programming style without global
variables and states, like
((lambda (f n) (f f n)) (lambda(f n) (if (< n 1) 1 (* n (f f (- n 1))))) 5)
is not something you'll find in Lilypond.
