Forgive my ignorance, but if I don't ask, I won't learn.

I never use ligatures, so I'm puzzled about the syntax here.

What is special about that markup syntax that tells lily that
there are any ligatures present in the markup?

What if the markup were:

\markup "Ligatures: The Que fine flour"

Does that markup also contain ligatures?

Thanks for the edification!
