Let's assume that for some reason I want to add $\int_0^\infty ...$ above a note. Can it be done? I assume that in the worst case I can produce an image for this formula and include the image, but is there an easier way?There's no easier way. Producing an eps and including that in a markup is the only way. If you want lots of introductory explanations, you could use lilypond-book, but I don't think that's what you're after here.
But this would really be worth adding to lilypond. I am thinking of something similar to the call of TeX or LaTeX in metapost: btex $c^2=a^2+b^2$ etex or as a string tex("$c^2=a^2+b^2$") That way, you could easily add paragraphs formated with TeX in various places, you could have all the symbols you want, and especially reach better homogeneity between the text and the score. One of the most serious current problem seems to be the discrepancy between the text font in a LaTeX file and the lyrics font in a score. Perhaps it can be made identical in some cases, but it is not automatic, and the different font families hurt the eyes. Denis Roegel
