Re: On creating "title pages" and the like (with snippet 368)

[Graham King]

Here's some progress in getting snippet 368 to run with lilypond 2.16.2.
I suspect that guile has, at some point, become unicode-aware, so I

      * downloaded the snippet  from
        http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/tmp/book-titling.ily not from
        http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=368 (where the character
        encoding is messed up) - see
        
http://www.archivum.info/lilypond-user@gnu.org/2008-01/00557/Re-Lilypond-book-and-LaTeX-a-few-issues.html
      * saved the embedded, commented, example to a separate file;
      * added a statement: \version "2.11.0" to both files;
      * ran convert-ly on both files;
      * changed two lines in book-titling.ily:
        
        %#(let ((lower-case-accented-string "éèêëáà âäí
        ìîïóòôöúùûüçœæ")
        %       (upper-case-accented-string "ÉÈÊËÃ<U+0081>ÀÂÄÃ<U
        +008D>ÌÎÃ<U+008F>ÓÒÔÖÚÙÛÜÇŒÆ"))
        #(let ((lower-case-accented-string "é")
               (upper-case-accented-string "É"))
        
      * changed the encoding of both files to unicode in my editor
        (eclipse);
      * in the example file, changed the two special characters (lines
        13 and 31) to the equivalent unicode characters;
      * compiled book-titling.ily and the example.

The way ahead is probably to avoid the entire section of
book-titling.ily that deals with "accented characters" by using unicode
in the source file for your score.

If this works, then clearly I've left book-titling.ily containing a lot
of now-redundant code.

hope it helps
