Use "$variable" only inside a #{ #} expression. When in plain scheme,
just use "variable", without $.
And the music function should only return the TextScriptEvent part.

fingerSwitch =
#(define-music-function (parser location text) (string?)
  (make-music 'TextScriptEvent
   'direction 1
   'text (markup #:finger text)))
