"ordinary" quotation marks should be preceded with backslashes and included inside external quotation marks: { b } \addlyrics { "\"quote\"" } to have other quotation marks, simply take advantage of Unicode encoding - unicode recognizes several different types of quotation marks and treats them as different characters. The only problem is to get them, since pressing " key on the keyboard gives the " character, not one of the other quotations. I usually work around this by pasting from a word processor or, for example, wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anf%C3%BChrungszeichen): { b } \addlyrics { „modal“ } (i don't know if the e-mail won't distort the encoding, but when i use the code which i pasted above i get german quotation marks in Lily output) cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
