You have the crossing of two domains here: music and markup. Having a
markup command argument is only possible inside of markup, so there are
two possibilities of syntax:
r2\setlever \markuplist { D\sharp }
(note that the application of concat and vcenter suggests a markup list
being in use here).
r2_\markup \setlever { D\sharp }
and actually, since the namespace of markup functions and music
functions is separate, you could support _both_ at the same time, one
with music (event) function, one with a markup function. This would be
something like
setlever =
#(define-event-function (parser location pedal) (markup-list?)
#{ _\markup \concat \vcenter #pedal })
for the event variant (#1), and
(define-markup-function (layout props pedal) (markup-list?)
(interpret-markup layout props
#{ \markup \concat \vcenter #pedal }))
for the markup function variant (#2).
So you can't avoid switching into markup mode either for your command
itself, or at least for its argument explicitly.
