Simple substitution for oddFooterMarkup?

[Trevor Bača]

Hi,

I've been looking over 12.1 and 12.4 and I'm still struggling with the
following task:

I want to store

 boldPageNumber = \markup { \fill-line { \bold \fontsize #3
\on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty
#'page:page-number-string } }

in a standard include file called standard.ly and then write

 \include "standard.ly"

 \paper {
   oddFooterMarkup = \boldPageNumber
 }

This isn't right, however. The interpreter says

 Parsing...ERROR: Unbound variable: print-page-number-check-first

Can anyone help with the right way to store the longish markup command
in an external file for inclusion later in the paper block?
