RE: How to use global variables with \Markup

[Paul Harouff]

You didn't understand my question.

I have 12 verses interspersed between the scores. I want to type all of the
verses in one spot at the beginning of the file, just like choral lyrics. I
don't want to have to search the file and edit every \markup to revise the
text every week.

Is there a way to create global variables of text and reference them in the
\markup blocks?

See section "More about stanzas", which shows how to mix ordinary scores
with \markup commands that contain pure text.
