My apologies for double-posting...after writing I looked some more and found that you can use *\char ##x0000* to enter unicode characters in a markup block as in here https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/unicode

Dear Greg,

For the umlaut, as long as you enter the character with umlaut into the file, it should work. for Example, on vim I type <ctrl>-K, then colon (:), then "o", and it enters ö.

For the second question, I found https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=1008 (also attached to this email) but it unfortunately requires a lot of copy-pasting. If you add "\version "2.21.2"" and then run convert-ly it looks like it still works on 2.25.4.

For the third I hacked together the following, which you can tinker with to your liking

% ----------
\version "2.25.4"

\relative c' {
  c4 d e f | \mark \markup \smaller {\super\combine \draw-line #'(2 . 0) \arrow-head #X #LEFT ##t \rhythm {2 } = \rhythm { 4 } \super\combine \draw-line #'(-2 . 0) \arrow-head #X #RIGHT ##t} g4
}
% ----------

Thanks,
-William

Good evening -

Let me start off by saying I'm loving working with lilypond to engrave music. Well Done!!

Questions. How can I do this (an umlaut over the o??)

And on tempo markings (the "ca." after the equal sign. I could do it as all text but wanted to know if there's a more "lilypond" way to do it).

And as long as I'm asking (and you're still reading). How about this (a half note = a quarter note. I'd be happy to do it without the arrows -- which I think borders on silly -- but I'll give extra credit):

Thanks for any help you can provide. I have the Lilypond 2.12 Notation Reference so if you even point me to the section to reference I'll work it out.

Kind Regards,
--greg
