+@warning{In Texinfo, the backslash is an ordinary character, and
+is entered without escaping (e.g.
+@samp{The@tie{}@@code@{@bs{}foo@}@tie{}command}). However, within
+double-quoted Scheme and/or LilyPond strings, backslashes
+(including those ending up in Texinfo markup) need to be escaped
+by doubling them:
+@example
+(define (foo x)
+ "The @@code@{@bs{}@bs{}foo@} command..."
+ ...)
+@end example}
