+LilyPond functions defined with @code{define-music-function},
+@code{define-event-function}, @code{define-scheme-function} and
+@code{define-void-function} can now be directly called from Scheme
+as if they were genuine Scheme procedures. Argument checking and
+matching will still be performed in the same manner as when
+calling the function through LilyPond input. This includes the
+insertion of defaults for optional arguments not matching their
+predicates. Instead of using @code{\default} in the actual
+argument list for explicitly skipping a sequence of optional
+arguments, @code{*unspecified*} can be employed.
