Stewart, 

when the straight-forward #{ #} possible solution fails, reverting to
plain scheme, with the help of \displayMusic, is indeed what should be
done. 

Try:

  \displayMusic c'
  \displayMusic c'^\markup \finger "3-5"

and see the difference: that would be the body of your music function,
that will be used that way:

 c'-\functionName "3-5"  %% you cannot use ^\funName or _\funName
                         %% so direction should be hard coded

If you don't find a working solution, ask again here.

BTW, these are functions, not macros.
