Hi David,

Maybe it would be a good idea to extend the sentence in the manual in
the following way:

"... The result a music function returns must be music which is
compatible with the context in which it is called."

I'll probably not mess with markup, then ;-)

I guess to me it would help a lot having an overview about what markup
actually is and what categories exist in lilypond altogether. That
might be too complex to be put into the documentation easily, but
referring to the sources to clear that up is well beyond reach for me
at the moment...
