I am not overly happy with the rather verbose and arbitrary interface.  It  
is pretty much in line with the existing interface.  I am currently playing  
with the following kind of "markup transform" (a chain of markup commands  
with the last argument being a markup each, and the ultimate markup  
replaced with \default):

pred = \markup \with-color #red \large \default

\markup \box \pred { Hello world! }

While I have actual code working, it does not cooperate with  
markup->lily-string and would require a bit of a redesign to become  
transparent enough for useful printing.

This kind of transform would make it possible to collect a number of  
open-ended stock manipulations (or just define one's own markup-command for  
a custom one) into a function argument or variable or property.  Which  
seems like a nice building block for open-coded extensions.

fret-diagram-verbose, however, is designed in a manner that does not really  
offer itself for integrating this.  So it's just some food for thought for  
now, nothing to stop the countdown.
