Hello, As the doc says: "Markup mode may be used to format individual syllables in lyrics". NR 2.1.1 Common notation for vocal music > Entering lyrics https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-vocal-music.html#entering-lyrics Hence you can use \concat and \italic. \markup { \concat { hat \italic (s) } } show Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <[email protected]>
