Hi List,

my (deep sigh) client really likes adding a lot of text annotations to parts of 
his pieces. In the present case, he wants to add a footnote to a section title 
to explain the movie reference the title makes. Since my section titles are 
done using \mark objects, I'm trying to figure out how to add footnotes to them.

Here's an MWE:
----------------------------
\version "2.25.24"

global= {
\time 4/8
\mark \markup { \abs-fontsize #16 \bold "SECTION TITLE" }
}

oDAMusic = \relative c'' {
\key f \minor
R2*12

| %13
r4 bes
}
\score {
\new Staff = "Staff_oboeDA" <<
\global \oDAMusic
>>}
--------------------------------------
What I want is for SECTION TITLE to have a footnote attached to it, with an 
auto-footnote placing a text string at the bottom of the page. But the syntax 
given at 
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/footnotes-in-stand_002dalone-text
 doesn't seem to work. Is there actually a way to do this?

Thanks for the help,
