A \markup
block can exist by itself, outside of any
any \score
block, as a “top-level
expression”. This syntax is described in File structure.
\markup { Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow... }
This allows printing text separately from the music, which is particularly useful when the input file contains several music pieces, as described in Multiple scores in a book.
\score { c'1 } \markup { Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow... } \score { c'1 }
Using a specific syntax, text blocks can be spread over multiple pages, making possible to print text documents or books (and therefore to use LilyPond as a word processor). This syntax is described in Multi-page markup.
