I'm currently typesetting some music for our school choir, SATB with a

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.

Thanks Ben, those links confirm what I already suspected, that footnotes in
markup attached to notes do not work.

Not really, I want to be able to supply some performance hints to the
markup *without* having that line from the note.
I have exactly the same issue using the manual \footnote form:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
\markup { The footnote \footnote "*" "* Here it is" works here. }
{c '^\markup { I want a footnote \footnote \super + "+ Does this work?"
here } }
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So my question now is: is there *some* way to place markup at the bottom of
the current page? That is, can I "fake" a footnote by putting the footnote
mark in the markup attached to the note, and simply place the footnote
manually at the bottom of the page?
Cheers
Dave
