Re: empty markup causes text overlapping in lilypond >2.17

[David Nalesnik]

Hi Eugene,

You could substitute \markup \null for \markup { }

Alternatively, you could use \markup \vspace #1 (or whatever value).

I'm not sure that it is a bug--the notation says to me "make no markup,"
 whatever LilyPond did in the past.

Anyway, for the purposes of the bug list, you should formulate your
demonstration as a very short inline code snippet.

Best,
David
