footnote-auto-numbering is present in the _code_.  This is not just a
question of the doc string.  There _is_ user-level documentation in the
notation manual (as a warning) mentioning, something like one has to set
it to ##f if one wants to be using non-auto footnumbers.

I consider it unlikely that footnotes in markup have been used all that
much, given the incoherent state of both documentation as well as the
code itself.  So I am not worried all that much if convert-ly can't deal
with markup footnotes nicely.  It does not look like LilyPond itself can
deal with markup footnotes all that nicely.
