Re: Converting \page-ref value to number type

[Benjamin Bruce]

Here is an updated (tinier) example:

\version "2.24"

{ 
  \label #'myLabel
  c4 c c
}

\markup #(markup #:page-ref 'myLabel "0" "?")

This displays the label's page number, but I still can't figure out how to 
extract that value so I can do things with it. Looking forward to your ideas.
