That is... interesting, I wonder if we should treat it as a bug actually. The thing is that \markup \raise 5 "text" does not work because "5" in markup mode is not a number but the raw string made of the digit character 5. Due to the internal way the backslash works, this extends to \raise-number, even though there is no reason in this case. Anyway, use the form \version "2.24.1" fontsize-number = #5 { c'1^\markup \fontsize #fontsize-number "text" } > > where "#" switches to Scheme mode in order to access the variable, just like \markup \raise #5 ... uses Scheme to write the number.
