Re: passing a Context to a scheme function (format-metronome-markup)

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

You can't do this; the format-metronome-markup is run during
interpreting, from Metronome_mark_engraver, which will pass the
context object by doing context()->self_scm() in C++.

I suggest you refactor the code a bit, so your call and
format-metronome-markup use the same code.
