Hm?

musmark
= ^\tweak self-alignment-X #CENTER
  -$(define-scheme-function (music) (ly:music?)
     (with-output-to-string (lambda () (displayLilyMusic music)))) \etc

{
  c'\musmark { c' }
}

Though it's probably a bit cheeky to $\etc the scheme function
in anonymously.  But you could give a name to the define-scheme-function
call as usual.
