Hi Freeman, Scheme is based in the lambda calculus. At some point, you need to learn Scheme to do everything you want in lilypond, in terms of extensions and so on. There's no avoiding it (well maybe, but...). Scheme is a wonderful elegant and powerful language, and efforts to learn it are repaid handsomely. But you don't need to become an expert in logic and lambda calculus. Lambda is the Greek letter, used heavily in formal logic. [Your question would tend to indicate you have not studied Scheme, unless I am mistaken - it would be hard to avoid lambda functions!]
