### 3.1.5 Adding text

Text may be added to your scores:

>     \relative { c''2^"espr" a_"legato" }

Extra formatting may be added with the `\markup` command:

>     \relative {
>       c''2^\markup { \bold espr }
>       a2_\markup {
>         \dynamic f \italic \small { 2nd } \hspace #0.1 \dynamic p }
