Ah, yes. But I would rather not feed the average lilypond user a C
represenation of a string, most of our users are not programmers.
This
%token BOOK "\\book"
is into this
"\"\\\\book\""
which will print as
bison.ly:8:5: error: syntax error, unexpected "\\book", expecting '{'
The extra backslash is not helpful. Hmm.
