What LilyPond version do you use? Please always try to include a complete
(but short) example of LilyPond code, that can be run directly through
LilyPond,
which shows what you have tried, when sending a question to the mailing
list.
I suspect that the problem is not the \super command, which is a valid
markup command, but hash mark "#" in G#mi, since hash marks are used
to tell LilyPond that "Here comes some embedded code in the Scheme
programming language". Try adding double quotes around the "G#mi"
and see if it works better.

hello,
i'm trying to define a set of custom chords for use in jazz charts,
and i would like to be able to have the numbers (7, 9, 11, 13, etc)
raised above the chord name. I use Brandt-Roemer standardized chord
notation, so my chords look like Cmi7, Cma9, Cdim, Cmi7b5 etc.
I've checked out the regression test,
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/source/input/regression/lily-2253a7494a.ly>
and it says to add a superscript, the number has to be preceded by
\super. i've tried this in the following example, and i get an
'unknown escaped string "\super"' error:
b4^\markup {G#mi \super "9"}
what am i doing wrong?
thanks,
-steve
