I would very much like to. But in lilypond that's not the common thing (and 
doesn't work for markup or score, either):

sss = \score { \relative c' { c1 d e f } }
\score { \sss }  % works
\sss             % doesn't work


mmm = \markup "blah"
\markup \mmm     % works
\mmm             % doesn't work

I don't really understand what you mean by that?

Cheers,
