Text objects are entered either as simple strings between double quotes or as <code>\markup</code> blocks that can accept a variety of advanced text formatting and graphical enhancements.

As such, markup blocks may be used:

* in any <code>TextScript</code> object (attached to notes with <code>-</code>, <code>^</code> or <code>_</code>),
* any <code>TextMark</code> introduced with the <code>\textMark</code> keyword, or <code>\textEndMark</code> command, or other similar objects such as MetronomeMark introduced with <code>\tempo</code>,
* as standalone markup blocks, entered at the top level outside of any <code>\score</code> block,
* in any definition inside the <code>\header</code> block (e.g. title, subtitle, composer) or in some variables defined inside the <code>\paper</code> block such as <code>evenHeaderMarkup</code> for page numbers.

<code>\markup</code> may additionally be used for lyrics, in chord names, and as dynamics. In fact, it is possible to use <code>\markup</code> to customize the appearance of virtually any object, as demonstrated in this example using various methods.
