Hi Peter,

two things:

-first, apparently LilyPond is expecting a Scheme expression here: typing
#"II"
instead of
"II"
will correct your output error

-but anyway your snippet is incomplete; you have to make the
TextSpanner object *exist* by adding some \startTextSpan and
\stopTextSpan commands after your \override instruction, like in the
"other guitar issues" example.

Maybe the Documentation should mention the #"XX" syntax (though it
works perfectly well without it, as long as you add anything after the
\override line);

Graham, if you think this is worth it, here's a small patch. I checked
the other examples, but none is to be corrected (all examples but this
one use a nested \markup block, and don't need any correction).

Regards,
Valentin
