If you want to include lilypond syntax inside scheme syntax you have to
put #{ #} around it. Here is your second example, with that included
(which made the error go away for me):
\layout {
\context {
\Voice
\override Accidental.before-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob)
(if (eqv? (ly:grob-property grob 'alteration) SHARP)
(begin
(ly:grob-set-property!
grob 'horizontal-skylines
ly:grob::horizontal-skylines-from-stencil)
(ly:grob-set-property!
grob 'text #{ \markup \vcenter \huge \bold "$" #})
(ly:grob-set-property!
grob 'stencil ly:text-interface::print))))
}
}
Hope that works for you
Kevin
