A \markup
block is used to typeset text with an extensible
specific syntax called “markup mode”.
The markup syntax is similar to LilyPond's usual syntax: a
\markup
expression is enclosed in curly braces {
... }
. A single word is regarded as a minimal expression,
and therefore does not need to be enclosed with braces.
Unlike simple ‘quoted text’ indications, \markup
blocks
may contain nested expressions or specific commands,
entered using the backslash \
character.
Such commands only affect the first following expression.
e1-\markup intenso a2^\markup { poco \italic più forte } c e1 d2_\markup { \italic "string. assai" } e b1^\markup { \bold { molto \italic agitato } } c
A \markup
block may also contain quoted text strings.
Such strings are treated as minimal text expressions, and
therefore any markup command or special character (such as
\
and #
) will be printed verbatim without affecting
the formatting of the text. This syntax even allows to print
double quotation marks, by preceding them with backslashes
d1^"\italic markup..." d_\markup \italic "... prints \"italic\" letters!" d d
The way markup expressions are defined affects how these expressions will stacked, centered and aligned when using the commands explained in Text alignment.
c1^\markup { \column { a bbbb \line { c d } } } c1^\markup { \center-column { a bbbb c } } c1^\markup { \line { a b c } }
Lists of words that are not enclosed with double quotes
or preceded by a command are not treated as a distinct
expression. In the following example, the first two
\markup
expressions are equivalent:
c1^\markup { \center-column { a bbb c } } c1^\markup { \center-column { a { bbb c } } } c1^\markup { \center-column { a \line { bbb c } } }
Markups can be stored in variables. These variables may be directly attached to notes:
allegro = \markup { \bold \large Allegro } { d''8.^\allegro d'16 d'4 r2 }
An exhaustive list of \markup
-specific commands can be found in
Text markup commands.

Syntax errors for markup mode can be confusing.
