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!]
Many valuable resources here:

I see this term 'lambda" used in lambda function, etc., to what does it refer?
