Dear community,
I have a problem with a sheme-function that does'nt work any more.
I get the error message:

wrong type for argument 1.  Expecting character, found "D"
 \markup {   \slashed-char
                           #"D"     }

I need it a slashed letter, it is necessary for some symbols  used in harmony classes in german music theory.

Why not something like this. If the slash needs to be something other than vertical, just vary the values for moveto and rlineto:

\version "2.16.0"

#(define slash "0.18 setlinewidth 0.8 1.53 moveto 0 -1.62 rlineto stroke")

slashD = \markup { \small { \concat { \postscript #slash "D" } } }

\relative c''{
  c1^\slashD
}
