Hi David,

for now only very few notes. I will need some more time to make my
mind about it, not in the middle of the night...


(define (lily-string->markup str) ...)
seems to be unused (same in display-lily-tests.ly) any reason not to delete it?

I'd like to see an example for LyricText/Hyphen. Like:

lyr = \lyricmode { foo }
\test "limitation" ##[ \lyr -- #]

This wish is triggered by an ongoing thread at the german forum:
https://lilypondforum.de/index.php/topic,150.msg982.html#msg982


So far for now, cheers,
  Harm
