Apologies, in my previous mail before sending it I make a small change in
the code and didn't test it. So I introduced an error: "alias" is a
reserved word. So here it is the previous code corrected (I highlighted the
relevant change):

\version "2.21.0"
extremelyLongNameFunction  =
#(define-music-function (music) (ly:music?)
   (let ((varOne #{ a b b a #}))
     #{
       $varOne $music $varOne
     #}))

short =
#(define-music-function (music) (ly:music?)
   #{
     \extremelyLongNameFunction $music
   #})

\short {c c c c}


Best regards, g.
