Here's something else that might help clarify why it's not working as you
expected it to:
\version "2.18.2"
origBreak = {}
% LilyPond's "define-music-function" returns a procedure
% here it is assigned to origBreak by Scheme's "define"
#(define origBreak
(define-music-function (parser location)()
#{ \break #}))
#(display origBreak) #(newline)
% -> #<Music function #<procedure #f (parser location)>>
% but Scheme's "define" does not return anything, so if you try this:
#(define keepOriginalBreaks (define something 10))
#(display keepOriginalBreaks) #(newline)
% -> #<unspecified>
#(display something) #(newline)
% -> 10
There would be less room for confusion if "define-music-function" (and its
friends) were named something like "make-music-function" instead.
Cheers,
-Paul
