Sorry for the noise earlier, Kieren. See the known issues in Notation Reference 6.4.1.: The markup-list argument of commands such as #:line, #:center, and #:column cannot be a variable or the result of a function call. (markup #:line (function-that-returns-markups)) is invalid. One should use the make-line-markup, make-center-markup, or make-column-markup functions instead, (markup (make-line-markup (function-that-returns-markups))) So the code that works is: \version "2.12.2" #(define-markup-command (test layout props stringA stringB) (string? string?) (interpret-markup layout props (markup (make-column-markup (list stringA stringB))))) \score { c^\markup \test #"one" #"two" } HTH, Carl _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
