Hi Harm, Thank you very much for your help.
Ref.: "You could have added what exactly you tried already.” : It did not work, probably because I just inserted it into the text instead of placing it outside the pair of quotation marks. I was not aware of that condition. I'm glad you also pointed out the possibilities to fine-tune the result. Ref.: "Why adding music, when you ask about toplevel markup?" It was just part of a testfile. Not functional. My apologies.
