Hi Joseph, welcome to LilyPond!
You have to set the encoding in jEdit. Menu Entry: Utilities -> Global Options -> jEdit -> Encodings. As "Default character encoding" you set "UTF-8". To change the encoding of existing files opened with jEdit, you double-click onto the encoding on the right side of the status bar. Then you can change it, too. Then the statusbar shows (lilypond,lilypond,UTF-8). Dominic 2008/8/19 Joseph M. Krush, Ph. D.
