Thank you for your assistance and that will work - except that the
footnotes will not appear on the same page as the rest to which they refer
(if the music is over more than one page).
Curiously, footnotes on a rest which is followed immediately by a note do
appear as desired:
\version "2.18.2"
{
\time 4/4
R1^\markup { Mahler text \super 1 }\footnote \markup "" #'(0 . 0) \markup
{ \tiny "1. This does not appear" }
R1^\markup { Mahler text \super 2 }\footnote \markup "" #'(0 . 0) \markup
{ \tiny "2. This does appear" }
c'1
}
Attaching the markup to an empty chord (<>) or an invisible grace note has
the same outcome. Perhaps I need to specify a time-based footnote with a
"[Context].GrobName" but I don't know what that Context or GrobName would
be.
Thanks,
Martin
