Unfortunately not.  The current situation for scheme is:
- no fixed rule
- that said, "do whatever emacs does"
- latest summary is here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2012-04/msg00312.html

The current "maybe tabs, maybe spaces, maybe whatever" part is
very unfortunate, but it will take a certain amount of effort to
resolve this.  It shouldn't be as bad as the C++ / astyle
arguments from the past few years, though.
