\normaltext is the basic idea behind "using normal fonts within a  
title", right?

text-markup-issues.html

How hard would it be to add such a function to lily?  It seems that it  
would be quite useful.


I managed to get an "e" to appear, but it's in a different font and  
much too big.  I tried
two different methods, but they both fail to work in the same way.  I'm  
quite uncertain
why the second method gives the results -- I'd expect it to either not  
print the e,
or use the same font for the whole string.

\version "2.5.25"
#(def-markup-command (normal-font layout props arg) (markup?)
  "Switch to normal text font"
  (interpret-markup layout (cons '((font-shape . 'upright) (fontsize .  
'tiny)) props) arg))

#(def-markup-command (normal-text paper props arg) (markup?)
  "Switch to normal text font"
  (interpret-markup paper props arg))

first = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:dynamic "f" #:normal-font  
"espr" ) )
second = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:dynamic "f" #:normal-text  
"espr" ) )
{
c4\first
c4\second
}
