I know it's basic, and I wonder why I get stuck this way, but obviously I'm confused and unable to find the right place in the docs. I want to write a function "instr" to produce formatted markup that I can use like { c d e f^\instr "Vl." } which should be translated to (e.g.) { c d e f^\markup \bold \italic \huge { "Vl." } } Unfortunately I seem absolutely unable to find out how to define the function so I can attach it to the note like in the example. Hopefully someone can either give me a working example or point me to the exact location in the docs where I can fully understand this issue.The docs are not useful for this. A sequential music expression like that generated with #{ #} can't be attached in this manner. But you should be able to do instr=#(define-music-function (parser location instrument) (string?) (make-music 'TextScriptEvent 'direction UP 'text (markup #:bold #:italic #:huge instrument))) Note that this has the upward direction builtin. If you don't want to have the direction fixed in advance (you can always override it with explicit ^ and _ instead of -, however), remove 'direction UP. How do you arrive there? Take a look what \displayMusic { c^\markup { whatever } } produces and go from there by stripping the layers that don't belong in your expression.
Thank you very much, that's the solution! The point is to nest the markup construct within the 'text element. Best Urs
