Fine! It was the "\line" which I was missing...

Well, there is another case when this extra space is not nice and when UTF-8
cannot make it: \markup{ 1\super "st" clarinet } (space between 1 and st).

no, it's the intended behaviour of markup.
It could be possible to write a markup function that concatenates markup

Then, maybe could you explain the rationale behind the intention?
I.e for outputting the opposite of the user's input:
1. Add a space where there was none
If you have a suggestion how to improve this, I will gladly take
patches. The relevant code is in scm/markup.scm.

That's true. To get spaces between non-space \markup items you can write
things like
\markup { "foo" \hspace #10 "bar" }

This is not correct. UTF-8 can also start with BOM. The same is true
for UTF-32.

Hi, I would like to thank you for providing the workaround. If you don't

I think there are hardly any people on this list who use W98 and Notepad.

Did you read the section called "Editor support" in the manual?
Especially, jEdit seems like a good alternative on all platforms.

I don't know about the capabilities of NotePad in Windows 98, but on
newer Windows versions, you can easily choose to save the file as UTF-8,
which is what LilyPond needs.
