I'm not surprised that the LSR snippet works in 2.19.81. I'm certain my difficulty relates to my unfamiliarity with Scheme and with the way Scheme operates with LilyPond functions and commands. And, in fact, exactly how LilyPond functions and commands relate to each other, especially in areas I'm not familiar with. I need to study more.
