(This doesn't work so well without file attachments.)
stuff={
a
}
\score {
\new Staff \stuff
}
\version "2.10.20"
If you save that in Microsoft Notepad's default encoding, it works. But if you
save it in UTF-8 (because lyrics are in foreign languages), Notepad inserts a
BOM, and Lilypond fails to parse it. The beginning identifier "stuff" becomes
$EFBBBF"stuff" and the later reference can't find it:
error: unknown escaped string: `\stuff'
If the document starts with a special character, such as '\' or CRLF, then the
Unicode BOF doesn't cause problems.
