Re: Superscript in \markup environment

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi Harm,

Thank you very much for your help.

Ref.: "You could have added what exactly you tried already.” :
It did not work, probably because I just inserted it into the text instead of 
placing it outside the pair of quotation marks. I was not aware of that 
condition.
I'm glad you also pointed out the possibilities to fine-tune the result.

Ref.: "Why adding music, when you ask about toplevel markup?" 
It was just part of a testfile. Not functional. My apologies.

Best regards,

Robert
