Thank you Steven, but no luck. I get "error: unknown escaped string: `\concat' ", and the .pdf has "concat pi ù f" (in the proper fonts).

I had this problem once before, and just gave up, but perhaps things have changed. I've checked the manual, the program reference, and the user list archives, with no success. I'm running LilyPond 2.10.16 under WindowsXP Pro, SP2. I'm trying to use \markup to insert <più f> below the staff. Using <\char #'249>, I can get the correct last character in piu, but there's always a space between <pi> and <u>.
