Re: latex in \markup

[Bernard Hurley]

It's a pity that there is no way of using TeX in markup as it used to be
a very easy way of getting unusual symbols into a score. For Instance I
have a metafont font that prints recorder fingerings and a set of macros
for accessing them (It could be adapted to other woodwind instruments).
In the past I could put a fingering over a note simply by placing the
appropriate macro in markup.
