That's inside of a markup.  I _think_ this should work in current 2.17
with define-scheme-function, but likely not in 2.16.

So you'll need a define-markup-command after all to use inside of
\markup, and best give it two markup? arguments (if the arguments are
not plain strings, you'll likely get an error then).

It is actually possible to both use define-scheme-function and
define-markup-command with the same name, and LilyPond will pick the
right one depending on context.
