Not sure if this was already suggested, but could you use something like 
this to concatenate arbitrary markup?

%%%%
"\+" =
#(define-scheme-function
  (first second) (markup? markup?)
  #{ \markup \concat { #first #second } #})

foo =
#(let ((idx 0))
  (define (inc) (set! idx (1+ idx)) idx)
  (define-scheme-function () ()
   #{ \markup $(format #f "~r" (inc)) #}))

{ b'4 4 4 4 }
\addlyrics { \+ \foo , \+ \foo , and \+ \foo ! }
%%%%
