I think I found an error in the lilypond documentation for 2.8.x,
although as I'm still quite new to lilypond there is a good chance that
it's my own misunderstanding...
Section 4.5 contains this snippet:
padText = #(define-music-function (parser location padding) (number?) #{
\once \override TextScript #'padding = #$padding #})
Which seems to contain an extra # preceding $padding. I had to remove
it to get this example to work, and further examples seem to be
consistent with using only a $.
Thanks,
Julian Peterson
