No, I *want* to use instrument names, not stanza numbers.
But my question isn't about that.
I am trying to figure out how to write a function where I
can supply the value for a variable inside it.
myfunction(somevar){
;do stuff
}
If were programming in a coding language, I would do this:
addVerseNumber(whatnumber){
return "\new Lyrics \with { instrumentName = whatnumber
. "." shortInstrumentName = whatnumber . "." }}"
}

Hi Gabriel-Marie,
Could you describe in context what you are trying to
achieve? Are you meaning to apply *stanza* number, rather
than instrument names? Have a look at:

In my music script I want to use this:
\new Lyrics \with { instrumentName = "1."
shortInstrumentName = "1." }
However, I would like to make a function out of it.
I'm looking at this page:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/saving-typing-with-variables-and-functions
and this is what I have come up with, but I know this
isn't right. Can someone correct this for me?
Basically, I want to do this:
\new Lyrics \verseNumber #1
and have it create this:
\new Lyrics \with { instrumentName = "1."
shortInstrumentName = "1." }
verseNumber = #(define-music-function(parser location
whatnumber)( number?) #{ \with { instrumentName =
#whatnumber "." shortInstrumentName = #whatnumber "." } #}
