Hi Werner,
In the NR, most such functions have its argument starting with `#`,
for example
```
\ottava #-2
```
Are there still cases where `#` is mandatory for numbers? Otherwise
the documentation could be updated to remove all `#`.
Yes, there are: In markup, for example.
\markup \fontsize 3 Hi
is still illegal.
I'm all for removing the # escape (and string quotes and/or #' for
symbols) in the documentation where it's possible; my own LilyPond style
feels much more relaxed since I found out how many of those I can omit.
\version "2.23.10"
\removeWithTag dyn \new Staff = upper {
\tag dyn <>\mf
\ottava -1
a4_boringly
}
But of course there's always the danger of beginners tripping up on this
because they do not recognise the situations where #/'/"" are still needed.
