Comment #2 on issue 1988 by [email protected]: Patch: Rename \markuplines to
\markuplist (before running convert-ly)
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1988
A markup list exactly is _not_ lines. It is the state that has _not_ yet
been turned into lines. When you use them as markup, they get turned into
a block of lines, but the whole point of their existence is that you want
the state before that, just like a music list becomes sequential music only
when used as music. But there still is, say, \simultaneous { c e g } where
the music list is used differently.
Or
`\concat' ARGS (markup list)
Concatenate ARGS in a horizontal line, without spaces in between.
Strings and simple markups are concatenated on the input level,
allowing ligatures. For example, `\concat { "f" \simple #"i" }' is
equivalent to `"fi"'.
It does not make sense that you have to write
zap=\markuplines { a b c }
\markup \concat \zap
to get a tight line of abc.
And markup lists are documented explicitly as markup lists. Just the
command for calling them is different. Totally confusing.
