Very nice! The MusicXML standard supports an `enclosure-shape` attribute: https://www.w3.org/2021/06/musicxml40/musicxml-reference/data-types/enclosure-shape/ It would be very helpful to have a function that makes the polygon enclose a text string, similar to the `\box` markup command. And I agree with Valentin that you should completely drop the size argument, relying on the available markup scaling commands instead. Werner
