Found the problem: The use of right_note, with the underscore, seems not 
to work. The InsetLayout gets converted to "Branch:read note", with a 
space, and then we try to look up "Branch:read_note", with the 
underscore. I don't remember why we replace the underscores with spaces, 
but this is old behavior.

We seem to need something like the attached.

LabelString does not have any effect for me, and looking at the code 
it's clear why. Pavel, do you have some local patch that makes that 
work? Should it work? Easy to do, I think.

And it is quite fantastic. I was not aware you could embed branch 
content in a command or an environment. It's something I've seen asked 
for, and I've always thought it wasn't possible yet.
