The markup syntax is similar to LilyPond's usual syntax: a

-@dots{} @}}. A single word is regarded as a minimal expression,
+@code{\markup} expression is enclosed in curly braces

and therefore does not need to be enclosed with braces.
Unlike simple @qq{quoted text} indications, @code{\markup} blocks may

strings are treated as minimal text expressions, and therefore any

Double quotation marks themselves may be printed by preceding them
