The "LilyPond -- Extending" guide.

At the time the decision was made, GUILE was the official extension
language of the GNU project.  It may still be, but nobody really cares
much any more.

At any rate: it integrates reasonably at the language level with
LilyPond.  If you compare this to, say, the kind of integration Lua has
in LuaTeX (which is actually none to speak of at the language level),
this provides a quite more natural extension of LilyPond's basic
capabilities.
