Contrary to `\score` (the markup function), which returns a single markup, `\score-lines` returns a list of markups (for example, three lines of output yield a three-element list), to be used with other markup list commands. You can't mix these commands, so they have to have different names. The only exception is `\markup` itself, which accepts either a markup or a markup list. >> > My next reaction was: Why is the command the same, when the >> > behavior is different? >> >> For convenience.

The analogy doesn't fit exactly, but yes, it's something similar: LilyPond's `\score` markup command can be considered the same as TeX's `\hbox` (i.e., you no longer can reformat the stuff within the box), while `\score-lines` is approximately the same as TeX's `\unvbox\vbox`, where the `\vbox` contains one `\hbox` per system. Note that a markup list can be split between pages. >> Thanks.
