Preferred way for text

[Hans de Rijck]

Hi gurus,

What is the preferred way to add general texts?
So far I've found two ways that are reasonably 'universal':

\mark \markup { MyText }

or

s1*0 ^\markup { MyText }

where the latter has the possibility to position the text above the staff.

or is there another way that should be used for general purpose?

regards,

Hans.
