GDP: Opinions sought on markup command snippets

[Neil Puttock]

Hi everybody,

I'm just about to start work on creating snippets for each of the
\markup commands listed in appendix B.6. Before I begin, I'd like to
canvass opinion on how they should be demonstrated.

As I see it, there are two options:

1. Continue in the same vein as the two existing examples (\raise and
\super), where each command is part of a markup in a score;

2. Show each command in isolation, i.e., within a bald \markup block,
displaying text marks only.

Naturally, the latter option would be much quicker to implement, but
is a more artificial way of demonstrating text markup since most users
will be incorporating text into scores. It is also likely to look less
pleasing than minimal score snippets, since they would serve as a
regular break between the commands.

I welcome your thoughts as to the best way forward.

Regards,
Neil
