hmm. I wasn't actually aware of that. But it makes sense. ;) However, as Urs also mentioned, I still have the problem for other words, such as "difference", "first repetition" or "left hand" (which do deserve a ligature). However, these words are not in titles, so it's not as obvious. The fonts I am using have the ligatures, as they are shown in other programs. Any ideas how to ask lilypond to use them? regards, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
