Hello anyone on the bug list, could someone just verify what was reported by Paul (below) sounds correct and if this is a bug or just a doc edit (or both).

Thanks,

James

On the page:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/custom-titles-headers-and-footers

the syntax for using \on-the-fly is specified as:

    variable = \markup {
      …
      \on-the-fly  \procedure  markup
      …
    }

and the following examples use the same.  Note the use of \ to introduce
the procedure.

However, this does not work for all procedures - specifically not in the
case of \(on-page n).  But using # instead of \ works in all cases, and
is also more logical as introducing the parameter for \on-the-fly.

It would seem logical to change the documentation to specify and use #
instead of \ for these procedures.

Regards,
Paul
