which will never do anything since "frameName" is a string variable with a 
discret value and therefore not vois at all.

I believe that what you are looking for is a way to detect if there is a 
marker in your score labeled like some certain expression.
There is an archaic element in lingo called labelList which really is not a 
list at all but rather a string with all the labels of a score separated by 
RETURN.

so something like this might work for you:

on isDefinedLabel expression
   return (the labellist contains expression & RETURN)
end
