Dear Joram, Thank you for your help. I had already tried \concat { "5" \super "ths" } but it did not work. I see now that this code must be outside the pair of quotemarks containing the "normal" text, a condition I wasn't aware of. I'm glad you also pointed out the possibilities to fine-tune the result. About my "not so minimal example", you are right of course. The music has no function here. Point taken.
