I was able to get time-based footnotes working for Rehearsal Marks (
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/footnotes-in-music-expressions
):
%%%
global= {
\time 4/8
\footnote #'(1 . 1) "Casablanca" Score.RehearsalMark
\mark \markup { \abs-fontsize #16 \bold "SECTION TITLE" }
}
oDAMusic = \relative c'' {
\key f \minor
R2*12
| %13
r4 bes
}
\score {
\new Staff = "Staff_oboeDA" <<
\global \oDAMusic
>>
}

Adding footnotes to \mark objects?
Hi List,
my (deep sigh) client really likes adding a lot of text annotations to parts of
his pieces. In the present case, he wants to add a footnote to a section title
to explain the movie reference the title makes. Since my section titles are
done using \mark objects, I'm trying to figure out how to add footnotes to them.
Here's an MWE:
\version "2.25.24"
global= {
\time 4/8
\mark \markup { \abs-fontsize #16 \bold "SECTION TITLE" }
}
oDAMusic = \relative c'' {
\key f \minor
R2*12
| %13
r4 bes
}
\score {
\new Staff = "Staff_oboeDA" <<
\global \oDAMusic
>>}

What I want is for SECTION TITLE to have a footnote attached to it, with an
auto-footnote placing a text string at the bottom of the page. But the syntax
given at
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/footnotes-in-stand_002dalone-text
doesn't seem to work. Is there actually a way to do this?
Thanks for the help,
