Two notes: why don't you call the markup command just contempSign?
Since markups have a different namespace, contempSignMarkup is quite
redundant.

And why don't you define

contempSign = -\markup \contempSignMarkup

if contempSign is supposed to be used as postevent anyway?  Then you
_can_ do c16\contempSign [sic].
