Yay! That works. Not sure why the other way did not work. I tried various ways of getting it to output to a string instead of to a file, something like:
#(set! (jv (with-output-to-string (lambda () #{ \displayMusic \music #})))) so that we could add the # to the string jv. No luck here as I could not get past the syntax / non-music expression issues.
