Hi,

You should use ly:clone-parser to avoid this problem:

#(define-music-function (parser location) ()
   (ly:parser-parse-string (ly:clone-parser parser) "\\include 
\"test-data.ly\"")
   (make-music 'SequentialMusic 'void #t))

The same problem exists in previous versions, it happens whenever the lexer 
needs to read a lookahead token before applying a function:

testFunction =
#(define-music-function (parser location m) (ly:music?)
  (ly:parser-parse-string  parser " \\notemode { c' } ")
  (make-music 'SequentialMusic 'void #t))
% lexer needs to read the {
\testFunction c
{ c' }

Han-Wen: It _might_ be possible to fix this issue by making 
parser::parse_string temporarily restore some variables while parsing the 
string, but I don't think it's worth it (IMHO we can ignore the problem). Do 
you agree?

If so, we could perhaps make parse-string throw a warning if the parser seems 
to be parsing something else already.
