Thanks a lot! Simply replacing ly:make-score by scorify-music does the trick 
(although due to the need of the parser variable this cannot be used inside a 
define'd function returning the score, but only inside a void music function, 
which also schedulles the score to the typeset... But then, in my case, this 
is just fine, I'm generating the scores only on the fly whenever I really 
want to print them out).

Thanks for the hint. 

Now, my next problem is that if my createscore function is called within a 
\book block, I'd need to use book-score-handler instead of 
toplevel-score-handler. 
Is there an easy way to detect wheter we are inside a book block?
From parser.yy I see that lilypond does not explicitly check this, but uses 
the implicit context information from the parser instead...



The other issue I'm running into now is: How can I call a music-function from 
within another music-function? I haven't found any example for this in the 
docs or the LSR...

As an example, here I define a music function that does nothing and another 
one that just calls the first one:

identity = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?) music)
otheridentity = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?) 
(identity parser location music))
\otheridentity {c'1}


However, I always get an error message:
music_function_calls_another.ly:4:76: In expression (identity parser 
location ...):
music_function_calls_another.ly:4:76: Wrong type to apply: #<Music function 
#<procedure #f (parser location music)>>


Thanks,
Reinhold
