Well, if you write
example =
#(make-scheme-function (parser location music) (ly:music)
...
then (ly:input-both-locations location)
will return
-- Function: ly:input-both-locations sip
Return input location in SIP as ‘(file-name first-line first-column
last-line last-column)’.
So you'll be able to take the input location information and read the
corresponding source from the file.
It is sort of annoying that LilyPond does not offer something already
doing that since it _does_ have the information available (as you can
see when it produces error messages).
