defining a text command?

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

Is it possible in LilyPond to define a command with 2 arguments that will
simply print some text (arg1) a certain distance (arg2) above the staff?  

It would prototyped like this:

myText arg1(string) arg2(number)

And used like this:

a b c^myText #"hello world" #2.0 d e f

I'm beating a dead horse trying to use define-music-function to no end with
the 2.8.5 manual.

Such a command would save me much time in constantly having to enter:

\once \override TextScript #'padding = #2.0 (or whatever)

followed by \markup

I cant be the first person to need such a function.

Thanks for any help.
