Anywhere in this chapter will help you.

Also sometimes if you are using a predefined string as opposed to a variable it 
can be as simple as

VMarkI = { \markup \huge \bold "VI"}

{a b c^\VMarkI d}

Without having to get too complicated. Just remember that you cannot use 
numerals in the name of the function (i.e. in my example VMark1).
