Re: How to create shortcut to a command?

[Marc Mouries]

Thanks a lot guys this is helpful. I am trying to make the lily code  
easier to read.

I also have many command to write the position like "^\markup { \small  
"IV" }" and "^\markup { \small "IIII" }" and so on, would you know how  
to create a command that takes an argument?
