You didn't understand my question. I have 12 verses interspersed between the scores. I want to type all of the verses in one spot at the beginning of the file, just like choral lyrics. I don't want to have to search the file and edit every \markup to revise the text every week.
Is there a way to create global variables of text and reference them in the \markup blocks?
