I don't know. This is definitely a strange example. The \mark

feature.
Agreed! It's very rare to insert textual indications between
the notes within a measure (where, on the other hand, it's
not uncommon to attach textual indications to a specific

c1
\mark "something musical"
c1

I'm *totally* happy with a snippet that does this. But I still
think that we should keep the main text as is -- if nothing else,
it displays the limitations of the default settings.
Jonathan, if nobody's done this already, please add a snippet
saying something like "by default, lilypond centers the mark, but
this can be difficult to align textual indications. The alignment
can be easily changed:
c1
\mark "blargl"
c1
\once \override ... right
\mark "blargl"
c1
\once \override ... left
\mark "blargl"
c1
