Ah ok I see ! The problem is that I thought that the "nth" argument should come from a list of built-in, pre-defined arguments that should be appropriate for the task I'm trying to do. I just realised that I made a fool of myself when I just named it "blabla" and it worked. Thanks a lot David!

Hi all, If I want to "layer" markups, is there a better way than \combine? If not, does \combine have a magic way to combine three or more markups that doesn’t require chaining it like \markup \combine \markupA \combine \markupB \markupC ?? Thanks, Kieren.
