I'm currently typesetting some music for our school choir, SATB with a
piano part and a small percussion part. I *tried* to get some additional
directions to the performers inserted as footnotes, but I don't seem to be
able to get the footnotes in *\markup attached to notes* working at all.

MWE:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
\markup { The \auto-footnote footnote "Here it is" works here. }
{c '^\markup { I want a \auto-footnote footnote "Does this work?" here } }
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The annoying thing is that it is *almost* working, as there is a gap left
for the footnote marker, but both it and the actual footnote are just not
there.

Reading the manual (
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/creating-footnotes) I
can see that only musical expressions (which attached markup is definitely
not) and stand-alone text (again, attached markup isn't that either).

My question: is there any way to place a footnote at the bottom of a page
from markup attached to a note? I've "made do" with using simple markup to
give the performance instructions, but I'd like to be able to do this sort
of thing in the future. Any guidance would be most appreciated.
