Correct.

The file compiles when I try this, but no footnote shows up. This syntax:
\version "2.16.1"
<<
\new Voice = "voice" { c' d' e' f' }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "voice" { \footnote #'(1 . 1) "footnote" \default
"Lyric" }
>>
yields this error:
warning: \footnote requires music or grob-name
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "voice" {
\footnote #'(1 . 1) "footnote" \default
"Lyric" }

I'm guessing you're referring to the \auto-footnote markup command. That would
indeed look better, but you're right--the output was identical to that of the
example above, with no annotation showing up. This syntax:
\version "2.16.1"
<<
\new Voice = "voice" { c' d' e' f' }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "voice" { \markup { \auto-footnote "Lyric" "footnote" }
}
>>
yielded this error:
programming error: Cannot find correct footnote for a markup object.
continuing, cross fingers
