Hello all,

In lyricmode, this works as expected:

     Oo, __ oo, __
     \footnote #"*" #'(-1 . 0.5) #"* like the shower scene in “Psycho”" Ree! 
Ree! Ree!
     Hel -- lo!

but this

     Oo, __ oo, __
     \footnote #"*" #'(-1 . 0.5) #"* like the shower scene in “Psycho”" Ree! 
Ree! Ree!
     \footnote #"†" #'(-1 . 0.5) #"† like Lenny & Squiggy from “Laverne & 
Shirley”" Hel -- lo!

throws

     error: bad grob property path (Hel footnote-music)

I can’t seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong, despite RTFM.

It seems that every kind of alphabetic string is mistaken by \footnote to be the second-to-last, optional argument, specifying the grob path. There are two solutions I found:
%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.31"
<<
  { 4 4 }
\addlyrics { \footnote #"†" #'(-1 . 0.5) #"† like Lenny & Squiggy from “Laverne & Shirley”" LyricText Hel -- lo! }
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%
or
%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.31"
<<
  { 4 4 }
\addlyrics { \footnote #"†" #'(-1 . 0.5) #"† like Lenny & Squiggy from “Laverne & Shirley”" \markup "Hel" -- lo! }
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%

HTH, Simon
