Comment #31 on issue 2505 by address@hidden: Patch: Doc: NR clarified  
\footnote command as a TextScript
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2505

I have put out a working draft (does not pass regression tests yet as I  
have not done the necessary changes except for two files) of the tweak-like  
approach as issue 2536.  It should not require the use of <> or equivalent,  
but I have no convincing plan for a reasonably automatic convert-ly  
conversion.

Please don't push _this_ patch until we have had a discussion on the merits  
of the syntax proposed as issue 2536.  I'll try to make it pass the tests  
next, and then take a look at the code passages in the documentation.  The  
documentation text will come last.  Please holler if you have trouble  
understanding the proposed syntax in the mean time and that keeps you from  
evaluating this yet-another-footnote change.

I think it offers the least overall painful syntax, considering all  
possible use cases.
