Yes, it works with quotes in the variable definition as well as in the call :
/Exemple/
"gamme1" = \relative c' { g a b c d e f g }
\score { \"gamme1" }
Nice !!

Thank you for asking (and answering) this question! I always wondered
about this. Now I have a solution which is better than spelling out
numbers.

Right, so I'm stupid. All it takes is to enclose the variable_with_number names
in quotes....

Here is a question for anyone who may have been using lilypond for projects
involving text and many, many, short and similar musical snippets.
I am putting together a book that will contain many (very brief) exercises, grouped thematically.
I had thought a convenient and flexible way to organize the material and keep future maintenance
under control would be to create top level variables names for the main musical categories and
sub-categories and then assign each score snippet to progressively numbered variable. So I would
have, CategA-1 = {"code for one exercise"} , CategB-2 = "code for another
exercise"}, and so on. Clean structure, easy to maintain and rearrange, etc.
Then I discovered that lilypond does not allow numbers in variable names.... :-(
I'd be willing to bet my use case is not particularly weird---there must have
been other people encountering the same problem.
How have you guys managed it?
Cheers,
S.
