numbers and underscores do make things easier to read, but it makes things
hard to parse. Consider:
c4_\staccato_\markup { bla }
does this reference \staccato or \staccato_ ?
It might be possible to enable numbers, though. I would welcome an analysis.
And no, lilypond is not in any way related to TeX
