Re: Scheme programming pointers

  "Iterating over the elements of a list is an extremely common programming task. However, this is an area where Scheme is quite different from other languages, and its idioms are very elegant - once they are not confusing anymore. It is therefore important to really understand this topic in order to work efficiently without being constantly frustrated. "

LOL!

Yes, I think this document should be my first port of call!!

Thank you for the link!

Hi all,

I can probably work a lot out on my own, but if someone could direct me to any Lilypond-specific Scheme tutorials that might help with the idea I'm thinking about, that would be super!

https://scheme-book.ursliska.de
is very much work-in-(much-less-than-I'd-like)-progress, but you may find it useful anyway.
Note that not all the entries in the TOC actually contain useful stuff yet.
It (still) stops before it gets really interesting, but my objective was an introduction to Scheme for LilyPond users, taking into account what they may already know (and not to create a text that can only be digested when you already know the topic).

...

I am sure there is precedent for this and I need not invent it myself!!

There's precedent (public and private), and this is generally a very fruitful approach. Others have produced infrastructures, but I can only link to some of my own stuff:

• https://git.openlilylib.org/bfsc/kayser
  Maybe look at make.ly in the main directory and then into the /config and /includes directories.

You may search for orchestralily (although this is quite old) or openLilyLib templates (http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/lilypond-templates-td206201.html)

Thanks in advance for all help :-)
