Yes.
I've added the following:
@code{\raise} and @code{\super} raise objects in relation to
their surrounding markups. They cannot be used to move a
single text up or down, when it is above or below a note,
since the mechanism that positions it next to the note cancels
any vertical shift. For vertical positioning, use
@code{padding} and/or @code{extra-offset} properties.
