Frankly, I'd expect this use case to be frequent enough that there is no
point in documenting rather than fixing it.  Using a
`duration-or-music?` predicate along with a line of the kind

(if (ly:duration? music)
    (set! music (make-music 'NoteEvent 'duration music)))

at the start of the markup command definition should do the trick.
