Please disregard my last message. I now see that you wanted to use \markup in the following scheme code:
\addInstrumentDefinition #"contrabassoon" #`((shortInstrumentName . "Cbsn.")) So I think something like this should work: \addInstrumentDefinition #"contrabassoon" #`((shortInstrumentName . #{ \markup { ... } #} )) Apologies for the noise. -Paul _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
