What is actually inside "oddHeaderMarkup" is a (quite complex) markup. Using a syntax like "odd-header-markup" would look like it is a "vertical spacing variable", like the ones you have been renaming. Which could be confusing. But I may be biased, due to this "vertical spacing" discussions that took place recently. > Since I'm not a big fan of camel-case names, I second such a change. > However, I would do it rather now since we are already renaming so > many things. LilyPond *is* a camel-case names application. Every user-defined variable is a camel-case name, many commands are camel-case (some are not, which could be confusing). By the way, isn't "oddHeaderMarkup" actually called with \oddHeaderMarkup ? Then changing the name with '-' would break it, isn't it?
