We have actually gotten to the point that we have a slight dislike for
C++ as an implementation language. I recommend to learn Scheme and
Python. There is a lot that can be done writing in those languages,
and it is more fun to boot. For Scheme, try the
* Structure & Interpretation of Computer Programs by Abelson and
Sussman (this book has a very wide scope, and contains way more
information than you need for LilyPond hacking, but it's a wonderful
book)
* The GUILE tutorial (an info document).
For python, see www.python.org
If you're adamant about C++, Jan and I both learned it from
Stroustrup's book.
