This doesn't fix the problem, but if you use variables like UP and DOWN or
color names, etc., you need to quasiquote them:

>   \alterBroken #'direction #`(,UP ,DOWN) Staff.DynamicLineSpanner

Either that, or use the numerical equivalents:

>   \alterBroken #'direction #'(1 -1) Staff.DynamicLineSpanner
