gamme.1 is not a variable name.  It takes gamme to be an alist, and the
entry under key 1 is what is addressed here.

You can equivalently write gamme . #(- 3 2) for example.

In contrast, "gamme1" (referenced as \"gamme1") _is_ a single variable
name.

As to converting numbers to roman numerals: what is wrong with

#(format #f "~@r" 547)

?
