I think that LilyPond variables are visible in Scheme.

I'm not sure why you can't set the breakpoint for conditionalMark.  If I had
to guess, it would be because define-music-function is a macro, not a Scheme
procedure, but that's a totally wild guess.

I've copied this to -devel, because this question is over my head.
