Jeroen - Using 2.4.3, the \char may be used as:
c^\markup {"pi" \char #249 } It doesn't kern properly, but \hspace can correct that. Specifically, how do you use the \\`u construct? I can't find a way. - Bruce -----Original Message----- From: Jeroen Gijzen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 3:44 PM To: Mats Bengtsson; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fairchild Subject: Re: special character Hello, Thank you for your quick response. I'm using LilyPond-2.4.5 on RH9; my text editor (gedit-2.2.0) is set to use UTF-8 when saving. I didn't quite understand how to implement the "char #249" (still a newbie), so I tried using TeX coding "\\`u" and this works wonderfully well. Thank you so much / Tusen takk Jeroen Gijzen Mats Bengtsson wrote: > What version of LilyPond? > What character coding does your text editor use when saving files? > > /Mats Erik Sandberg wrote: Please tell us which verison you are using when reporting problems. The system for markup has changed drastically lately; if you use the latest 2.5 releases, your code should work. If you use 2.4 or older, you could try to use the TeX coding for ù, I think this is something like "\\`u".
