For the frenchies who'd like to learn python, I must say that Gérard Swinnen's
Apprendre à
programmer avec Python, is really amazing (I understand everything ). I
found it on
developpez.com.

I would like to also note, that you can use Python as well in jEdit
(using the Jython plugin), so if you learn Python and not Java, you can
still write sophisticated macros for LilyPondTool :-)

Regarding scheme I would recommend the following two books. You can
actually get them electronically in full text (no need to wait for

Excellent idea if you're on a Windows platform. If you're on a Mac,
you might try AppleScript, which will let you build useful little
applications quickly, somewhat like VB. If you're using Linux
python?
it has a simple syntax and it is very powerful,
a nice first language and for experienced programmers too.

Lilypond also makes fairly extensive use of Scheme, which might be
easier to learn.

If you'd like to learn something that you can use in LilyPond activity I
would suggest Java and/or the Java-like script language of jEdit, that
is BeanShell. In BeanShell you can actually write anything that you can
in Java, but can be more lazy. There are excellent Java Tutorials on the
