quotes and commas in lyrics
Hello, the following: \Some -- day\, produces: syntax error, unexpected ',' and \Some -- day,\ gets Some-day, however the result I want is: Some-day, What is the correct syntax for that?

Re: quotes and commas in lyrics
\Some -- day,\ is grammatically correct. Commas and periods usually go inside the quotation mark, but other punctuation marks only if they are part of the actual quotation.

Hi Carl, \Some -- day,\ is grammatically correct. Commas and periods usually go inside the quotation mark, but other punctuation marks only if they are part of the actual quotation. Actually, that depends on the style guide being used by the particular publication, and regional conventions. In the U.S., punctuation inside the quotes is almost universal, but in the U.K. and Canada, punctuation outside the quotes — often kerned to be slightly tighter — is a very common practice.

And I wrote the response before I'd had any caffeine for the day, so I didn't pick up that Gerard specifically wanted Some-day, instead of Some-day, On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 10:23 AM, Kieren MacMillan kieren_macmil...@sympatico.ca wrote: Hi Carl, \Some -- day,\ is grammatically correct.
