Things of specific interest are:
- ways of marking up correlations of words and syllables to rhythm
- ways of also marking their pitch, when required
- whether to use hand-writing on grid-paper, or printable (.txt, .rtf ) files with basic text formatting
- typographical aspects, such as line leading, fonts etc. - for example: always one bar per line? Do monospaced fonts (Courier etc.) allow for better visual correlations, etc.?
- ways of visually separating repeating and non-repeating parts, for example whether to use indentation/tabs for choruses etc.
Notes on history of such markups are welcome, if you know of it. References to personal practices of rappers are welcome too, as are references to books and studies on the subject.
Some aspects of this subject may also relate to other rhythm-based genres.

Note: I posted this in Music Theory forum because it fits the following criteria (as stated here: viewtopic.php?f=99&t=162136 )
"Questions about the underlying principles of any music or musical tradition."
"Questions regarding time signatures, counting patterns, and metrical structure."
Due to previous misunderstandings with some members of this forum, and other reasons, this time I'll just leave the question here and will try to refrain from writing much myself.
