Pronunciation hints in \markup block

[Philip Thomas]

I am setting a piece of vocal music in which I wish to include pronunciation 
hints for the singers. For example, I 
might want to indicate that an "e" in a word should be pronounced as "eh" 
(rather than "ee"). To achieve this, it would 
be handy to insert "eh" (possibly in italics) immediately over (or under) the 
"e" concerned.

I have found suggestions 
for adding \dynamic marks to lyrics. Tailor-made new dynamics could then be 
included, formatted as desired and tweaked 
into the correct position. But I don't really want to clutter the lyrics line 
within the music itself. I intend in any 
event to include the entire text in a \markup block, immediately following the 
\score. Is there any way of adding this 
kind of markup to the text in the markup block? Any help appreciated. Sorry if 
I've missed something blindingly obvious 
in the documentation or on the forum.

Cheers, Philip
