Re: variables for numbers

I don't know if it is the easier way, but I'd do:

#(define-markup-command (raiseDistance layout props text)
                          (markup?)
    (interpret-markup layout props
      #{
         \markup {
           \raise #1.3 #text
         }
      #}))

sottoVoce = <>^\markup \raiseDistance { \italic "sotto voce" }
mezzoVoce = <>^\markup \raiseDistance { \italic "mezzo voce" }
{ \sottoVoce a'1 \mezzoVoce c''1 }
