To understand why this works and not what you tried, you need some
knowledge about the Scheme language. The short story is that you
need the (markup ..) command to be evaluated, not just passed as a
list.

To set the text for TextSpanner, one does

How can you use \markup{ foo } instead of "foo" ? Judging from
11.2.1 Markup construction in scheme, I thought that this would work
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'( (markup "foo") . "")
but it doesn't. :(
Christopher -- once we find out how to do this, try adding a
\hspace #1
to the end of your finger string ("1 "). It may not be ideal, but it
should work.

I think this is the best way; hence me question.
