Bingo! $ file test.ly test.ly: ISO-8859 English text
After setting M-x prefer-coding-system (in Emacs) to utf-8, everything was fine. So, after all, in spite of the misleading sentences in the docs, if the editor is correctly set for UTF-8, it works great. Thanks again, Ari Constancio On 9/21/06, Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I noted that text in the manual after sending the previous response, but my comment is actually relevant for the tex backend as well, so we should remove that misleading information from the manual. My guess is that you didn't manage to save your file in UTF8 encoding, but it could also be that you don't have the necessary fonts (or at least that LilyPond/Pango doesn't know about them). If you run the command file test.ly it should say something like: test.ly: UTF-8 Unicode English text If it doesn't mention UTF-8 then you failed to persuade Emacs to use the correct encoding. You could also try to download and process the example utf-8.ly from the Regression Tests document (just make sure to remove the line \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly" at the top of the file first). /Mats
