Dear Vaughan,
It seems that the you need to tweak your variable a little bit, something like
below:
%%BEGIN%%
pocoFermata = {
\once \override Script.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override Script.text = \markup \center-column {
\small \italic \serif "poco"
\vspace #-0.4 \small \musicglyph "scripts.ufermata"
}
}
%%END%%
It’s the \serif that allowed the variable to work as expected.
Happy to help,
Yoshi
