Hello everyone,
I would like to create a function that transforms one note to another
using scheme's cond procedure. This is what I have working so far using
an arg of type number?:

Hello, fellow music engravers.
I would like to pass a number variable to \markup, but my attempts are
not working.
When I try to pass a number variable to \markup I get the following message:
"error: syntax error, unexpected NUMBER_IDENTIFIER".
Examples:

I do not know how all of the glyphs for lilypond have been made, but I
have used the open-source program FontForge to make custom font glyphs.
I found the process of making custom glyphs enjoyable, and the FontForge
documentation was good.
Perhaps, you could take a font that is cl

Note that here it is necessary to first create the global binding using
#(define ...) and then use (set! ...) to change that binding.

Of course this is a rather stupid example, but you can do much more complex
