Interesting!

The problem is that LilyPond's Vim syntax file includes the system's
Scheme syntax file, which overrides the `iskeyword' property to
something not-that-desirable for LilyPond files.

I *thought* that by including the Scheme syntax file, the overrides
and such would only apply to the @embeddedScheme group, but I guess
some of them leak through and apply to the entire LilyPond syntax
file.  Seems odd, but there's probably something missing.

I'll think about this some more tomorrow.

Thanks,
