For lilypond-devel: Feature request below, add a markup command
to get ordinary text font encoding!

One possibility is to add new dynamic script commands for the
extra dynamical annotations that you use in a file:

\version "2.3.10"

#(def-markup-command (text paper props arg) (markup?)
  "Use ordinary text font."
  (interpret-markup
   paper (prepend-alist-chain 'font-encoding 'ec props) arg))

pdolce = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:dynamic "p" #:text #:italic 
"dolce" ) )

...
c2 \pdolce \> c \!



The corresponding for version 2.2.x is

\version "2.2.5"

#(def-markup-command (text paper props arg) (markup?)
  "Use ordinary text font."
  (interpret-markup
   paper (prepend-alist-chain 'font-encoding 'text props) arg))

pdolce = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:dynamic "p" #:text #:italic 
"dolce" ) )
%pdolce = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:text #:italic "dolce" ) )

\score{
\notes {\relative c' {
  c2 \pdolce \> c \!
   \set Score.skipBars = ##t
  R1*5
  \override Staff.MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1
  R1*5
}}}



Comment for lilypond-devel:
For situations like these, where the grob by default has a
number of font related properties set, it would be nice to
have a markup command the resets all these properties to
the default, just like \normalfont in LaTeX. Preferably,
these defaults should be taken from book-paper(?).
