Thanks for the quick response, and sorry - by "embedded space", I meant

I input cis'(
it's clearly interpreted differently from
cis '(
but cis'( cis')
is interpreted the same as
cis'(          cis')
or even
cis'(
cis')

Please keep lilypond emails on the mailist, since other people may benefit from the answers.

Lilypond is generally whitespace-insensitive (the programmer name for "embedded space" is whitespace), but as you've noticed the octave mark ', needs to be next to the note name. There isn't any authoritative documentation about this, however.

Cheers,
