I doubt you can create "more complex scheduled transactions" from guile.
In the build tree you can search for gw-*.html for the documentation
of the guile bindings.  These files are not installed anywhere.

You can write a ~/.gnucash/config.user to hook in your own guile code.
Just be sure you load ~/.gnucash/config-1.8.auto from config.user
otherwise you'll lose your personal configuration.
