The footnote marks are "tune" and "recent", respectively and it seems
like they appear just fine.
They are not examples of "automatic marks", however.
Apropos documentation: the doc string for the \footnote markup states
‘\footnote’ MKUP (markup) NOTE (markup)
Have footnote NOTE act as an annotation to the markup MKUP.
\markup {
\auto-footnote a b
\override #'(padding . 0.2)
\auto-footnote c d
}
.[image src="lilypond/69/lily-bd030652.png" alt="[image of music]".]
The footnote will not be annotated automatically.
Again, flip-flopping between \footnote and \auto-footnote (apart from
which the footnotes do not actually appear in the documentation pages,
at least not in the Info version).
