\version "2.19.81" nar = ^\markup \whiteout \pad-markup #2 \etc Unfortunately the above produces "syntax error, unexpected \etc" The older version works fine. It would be nice to get the newer version to work, because in principle this type of syntax should make it much easier for me to create my own functions in future instead of bothering the list so often. But so far I haven't been able to get it to work even after trying quite a lot of small changes (purely on a "trial and error" basis).
