As a matter of fact, this is precisely one question Graham and I argued about without finding a decent solution. The current sentence is : http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Text-markup-introduction.html "Markup expressions may also be enclosed in double quotes "...". Such expressions are treated as text strings and may not contain nested expressions or commands. Therefore, braces are generally prefered to double quotes." Actually, it would be nice if we had a specific name for such objects. Graham told me to find something but neither he or I could come up with a smart solution.
