Probably: ‘ or ’ As for italic you may try Torsten's markup-command `slanted' from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/How-to-prevent-ly-stencil-rotate-to-modify-dimensions-tt210800.html Leading to: #(define-markup-command (slanted layout props arg) (markup?) #:category font #:properties ((slant-angle 12)) "Fake a slanted font" (let* ((alpha-rad (* 0.5 (acos (tan (* (/ PI -180) slant-angle))))) (alpha-deg (* (/ 180 PI) alpha-rad)) (stencil (if (markup? arg) (interpret-markup layout props arg) empty-stencil))) (ly:stencil-outline (ly:stencil-scale (ly:stencil-rotate (ly:stencil-scale (ly:stencil-rotate (ly:stencil-outline stencil point-stencil) 45 0 0) 1 (* (tan alpha-rad))) (* (- alpha-deg)) 0 0) (* (sqrt 2) (cos alpha-rad)) (/ 0.5 (sqrt 0.5) (sin alpha-rad))) stencil))) \markup \override #'(font-name . "Escolar2") \line { problem‘s’s \override #'(slant-angle . 18) \slanted { problem‘s’s } } Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
