To do this, you need to use a music function.
instr = #(define-music-function (parser location m s) (ly:music? string?)
(make-music 'EventChord 'elements (append (ly:music-property m 'elements)
(list (make-music 'TextScriptEvent
'direction 1
'text (markup #:huge #:bold #:italic s))))))
\instr a4 "foo"
