The default serif font, of roman type, is automatically selected unless specified otherwise: on the last line of the following example, there is no difference between the first and the second word. <blockquote> <pre class="verbatim"> \markup { \column { \line { Act \number 1 } \line { \sans { Scene I. } } \line { \typewriter { Verona.
