Thanks.

Well, a LilyPond input file containing only
```
\markup \italic "foo"
```
prints something. In the NR this usage of `\markup` is called a
'top-level expression'. How do you call this?
On the other hand, a LilyPond input file containing only
```
#(make-italic-markup "foo")
```
prints nothing. I now wonder how I can modify the latter to make it
actually work – what is the 'appropriate hook'?
