Re: Opinions sought on markup command snippets

[Trevor Daniels]

Hi Neil

Perhaps "both" is an option?  What I mean is, use a markup in a score 
context where this is appropriate to the example or where the markup can be 
used to modify the appearance of music, but as bare text otherwise. 
Examples of the former might include \dynamic, \fret-diagram, \postscript, 
\score, \stencil.  There are probably many more.  Examples of modifying 
straight text don't really need a little score underneath, and too many of 
these would spoil the layout and make it harder to browse the list.
