Re: Markup macro?

[Stewart Holmes]

Okay... I've tried that, but I'm still getting an error. A test file:

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

\relative
{
c1-\fingerSwitch "5-4" | c | c | c |
}

gives me the error, "syntax error, unexpected MUSIC_FUNCTION_SCM". I'm not 
quite sure what I'm doing wrong.

Cheers,
Stewart
