I noticed that the LP front page states that "LilyPond now allows all
text context properties to be markups". This does not yet cover volta
brackets, though. That is Score.repeatCommands, which only accepts
plain text. If you try to enter a markup the volta bracket disappears
completely. I guess this is a bit more difficult to fix/change because
to get some normal text inside volta brackets you have make some
special overrides, i.e., font encoding, font family etc.

I just thought you might be interested...
