Ugh.
doScore =
#(define-void-function (parser location cond? mus)(procedure? ly:music?)
; if condition is met, parser shall create score
(if (cond? parser location)
(begin
(ly:parser-define! parser 'doScoreMusic mus)
(ly:parser-include-string parser (format "\\score { \\doScoreMusic }"))
)))
With current LilyPond (as of 2.19.0, issue 3728), you could likely do
better with something like
doScore =
#(define-scheme-function (parser location cond? mus) (procedure? ly:music?)
(if (cond? parser location)
#{ \score { #mus } #}))
