how to know the current page number from inside a regular markup (not score/book header)

[Wilbert Berendsen]

Hi,

I use regular markups to display titles for hymns in a hymn book. The
hymn number should align to the right on right pages but to the left on
left pages.

A hymn can start anywhere on a page.

It seems I can't access the page:page-number-string property inside a
markup function if it is not called in the context of a page header or
footer.

Is there any possibility for a regular (toplevel) \markup { } to know
the page it is drawn on? (Or, at least, whether it is a right or left
page?)

TIA,
Wilbert
