I believe you are referring to this (I'm guessing version 2.24): https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/extending/lilypond-compound-variables Please note that most people won't search the documentation to find what you mean. Please be precise in future emails. Other people can answer your question better than I can, now that the reference is clearer. -- Knute Snortum
