It may be worth noting that LilyPond does not have macros, only variables and
regular functions. Call me pedantic, but I think it is helpful not to conflate
the two. There is no way in LilyPond to make a variable "just be replaced by
this code". Sometimes users get confused by this (I remember a question about
defining a chord modifier, which was similar to this one). Instead, there are
functions, as well as some other mechanisms like drumPitchNames.
Lukas already gave the solution, so I don’t have anything more to add.
