Hi,

as Paul Morris pointed out \displayMusic is the best starting point to learn
the scheme way of writing music.
For example \displayMusic { c8[ c c c] } will show you how to beam a group.
Also I don't really get your last point. What kind of override do you want
to apply to the notes?

Regards,
Tao
