 Override commands are often long and tedious to type, and they
 have to be absolutely correct.  If the same overrides are to be
 used many times it may be worth defining variables to hold them.

 Suppose we wish to emphasize certain words in lyrics by printing
 them in bold italics.  The @code{\italic} and @code{\bold}
-commands only work within lyrics if they are also embedded in
-@code{\markup}, which makes them tedious to enter, so as an
