That's probably not all that easy since a "markup" is just a sequence of
sort-of function calls producing stencils.  And before the calls get
executed, the fonts in question are not yet known.

So you'll probably rather need to write

(define-markup-command (glyph-time-signature ...

since the code executed in _that_ definition is what is called at
stencil creation time.
