Documentation/learning/tweaks.itely:226: include it.  For more details,
see @rextend{LilyPond Scheme syntax}.
This may be a bit of bikeshedding here, but I'd suggest reversing the
narrative of the first paragraphs, like

LilyPond's basic expressions are musical items like notes, durations,
and markups.  Several simple values like the number @samp{-2} or the
predefined color code @samp{red} don't fit in this syntax, so we deal
with them by specifying them in LilyPond's embedded programming language
Scheme.

Escaping to Scheme for a single expression can simply be done by
prefixing the expression with @samp{#}.  Tweaked values usually are
non-musical expressions; the examples in the manual will favor using
@samp{#} even when LilyPond might be able to interpret some input
correctly in its musical mode without address@hidden@samp{#}.  For more
details...
