That's the principle I use. For example
_\markup{\dynamic pp \italic dolce }

Just use the ordinary syntax for fingerings or text scripts:
c^3^5
If you define commands like
sharp = \markup{ \small \sharp }
you could also say c^3^\sharp
In more complicated examples, you will need the power of the
\markup command, see
