I guess you can write markup function and then use it like this:

  { c d e f^\markup\instr "Vl." }

So (if so), you need to define markup function.

#(define-markup-command (instr layout props what) (markup?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
    (markup #:bold #:italic #:huge what)))

(not tested thougth).
