I am transcribing a piece that is filled with the rhythmic motif "8. 16 8"
at different pitches. Being a LaTeX user, I want to write a macro like
\myrithm{c a g}. I found the documentation for Scheme functions, and how to
edit whole music sections, but nothing on how to insert a fixed number of
pitches. As I understand it, ly:music is an arbitrary music expression, so
I cannot restrict it to just three pitches.
This is what I managed to put together, but doesn't quite work. Anyone can
suggest how to fix it?

\language "english"
myrithm =
#(define-music-function
(parser location first second third)
(first second third)
(ly:pitch? ly:pitch? ly:pitch?)
#{
#first 8. #second 16 #third 8
#})
\score {
<<
%\new Staff {\relative do' {\myrithm{c, d, e}}}
\new Staff {\time 6/8 \relative c' {c4. c \myrithm a' b e \myrithm {e
d c} c c c }} %Two different ways of calling it, neither works.
