Sorry for pushing for more clarity/understanding, but: is it [in terms of behaviour] that the event-function version of the function simply provides a "wrapper" for the markup-function version (thus saving the \markup, but doing nothing else), or does either version have additional pros and/or cons (e.g., more/less expensive, more/less prone to problems, etc.). > We don't prescripe how people are going to use markups. That's probably a good thing! =) But since \cue is both clearer (more immediately obvious) and cleaner (less typing) than \markup \cue, I'm trying to determine if there’s any downside to modifying my entire library with define-markup-function --> define-event-function (besides the search-and-replace migration effort on legacy scores, obviously).
