I believe it was David K who made this magic work:
\version "2.20.0"
mus.1 = { c d e }
\score {
\new Staff { \mus.1 }
}

Subject: Re: Workaround for (not-allowed) numbers in variable names?
I also wondered why numbers are not allowed in variables.
As for me, I used things like A, B, C instead... but it is less practical.
My guess is that it may be linked to the way numbers are used in notes and
chords to indicate duration, otherwise it would be real nice to be able to use
digits in variable names...!

Here is a question for anyone who may have been using lilypond for projects
involving text and many, many, short and similar musical snippets.
I am putting together a book that will contain many (very brief) exercises,
grouped thematically. I had thought a convenient and flexible way to organize
the material and keep future maintenance under control would be to create top
level variables names for the main musical categories and sub-categories and
then assign each score snippet to progressively numbered variable. So I would
have, CategA-1 = {"code for one exercise"} , CategB-2 = "code for another
exercise"}, and so on. Clean structure, easy to maintain and rearrange, etc.
Then I discovered that lilypond does not allow numbers in variable names.... :-(
I'd be willing to bet my use case is not particularly weird---there must have
been other people encountering the same problem.
How have you guys managed it?
Cheers,
S.
