Hi all,

Perhaps someone can help me here. I'm trying to set the Huron Carol (old hymn written by St Jean de Brebeuf in the 1640s). I'm having trouble with his name, which requires an e (accent aigu), and I'm getting a couple of strange characters in the output. Also, in the vers in the original Wendat language, the common way to depict one certain sound is with an "8", but Lily won't let me put that in lyrics.

Using Lily 2.13.0, with jEdit LilyPondTool -- I *think* with UTF-8 (how can I be sure?)

Can somebody help me straighten up the accent and character problem?

Thanks,

    Hi

    I'd like to have the time signature "3+1/2 / 4"
    (three and a half quarters).

    How can I do this?

    Thank you for your advice

    Best wishes

    How about 7/8?

    If you want special beam grouping, you'll need some tweaks.
    Also, if you want it to display as 3.5/4, you'll also need some
    \overrides.

    Cheers,
    Reinhold

    The easiest way is probably to create a hidden 7/8 time signature,
    and override the displayed time signature with markup showing what
    you want.

    If you speak german, there's a german lilypond forum at
    www.lilypondforum.de <http://www.lilypondforum.de>

    Do you have any idea how to do this override stuff? Sorry, I have no
    clue. Will check out the forum.

    As a general rule, I would suggest the learning manual, chapter 4
    (and everything else before it) to understand a) how lilypond works,
    and b) how to make changes, i.e., \overrides
