Re: Markup translate bug

[Mats Bengtsson]

The reference manual says the following about \raise:
" The argument to \raise is the vertical displacement amount, measured 
in (global) staff spaces. \raise and \super raise objects in relation to 
their surrounding markups. They cannot be used to move a single text up 
or down, when it is above or below a note, since the mechanism that 
positions it next to the note cancels any vertical shift. For vertical 
positioning, use the padding and/or extra-offset properties."

However, exactly the same limitation applies to \translate (which should
be mentioned in the manual).
