Re: fermata and text (markup) on/above one note

[Mats Bengtsson]

You are lucky, that there's already a predefined markup to typeset
fermatas, so you can do
c^\markup{ \fermataMarkup followed by some text }

If you want to do the same with a coda sign, for example, you can do
codaMarkup = \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" }
and then use it either standalone as c^\codaMarkup
or within a markup as
c^\markup{ D.S. al \codaMarkup }

Note that these will be typeset as TextScript objects, in contrast to if 
you use
c^\coda
which is handled as the same way as all the articulation signs and thus
is typeset as a Script object,
