Dear Michael,
I can't see why you shouldn't be able to set up variables containing
markup...
In the following example (admittedly not as minimal as it could be),
I've declared a two-column lyrics markup variable named \lyr along with
the variable \mus containing the melody.
Even "Bb version" and "Eb version" markup variables are there and all
can be used later on.
%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
% definition of music and (!) markup variables
mus = \relative {
\key c \major
g'4 f e f g g g2 f4 f f2 g4 g g2
g4 f e f g g g2 f4 f g f e1 \bar "|."
}
lyr = \markup {
\huge
\fill-line {
\null
\column {
"Markup stored and used aain,"
"used again, used again,"
"Markup stored and used again,"
"everywhere you want."
}
\null
\column {
"Markup stored and used again,"
"used again, used again,"
"Markup stored and used again,"
"thanks to LilyPond."
}
\null
} % fill-line
} % markup
BflatVersion = \markup \line { \concat { B \hspace #0.2 \raise #0.4
\tiny \flat } version }
EflatVersion = \markup \line { \concat { B \hspace #0.2 \raise #0.4
\tiny \flat } version }
%%%% later on, all these variables can be used ...
\score { \mus \header { piece = "C version" } }
\markup \vspace #2
\score { \transpose bes c' \mus \header { piece = \markup \BflatVersion } }
\markup \vspace #2
\score { \transpose es c' \mus \header { piece = \markup \EflatVersion } }
\markup \vspace #2
\score { \mus \header { piece = "Vocals" } }
\lyr
