Huh?  Can you name a _single_ advantage that is gained by having
\displayMarkup (which is only different from \displayScheme by refusing
to accept a number of arguments) instead of \displayScheme?

You are aware that a scheme? argument does not mean that the argument
needs to be entered with #?

\markup { "Hi" } is a perfectly valid Scheme argument for a music
