No; given this, we absolutely must include "". True, those
symbols rarely appear in old lyrics... but I can imagine somebody
writing "100%" or "#3". Especially in contemporary academic
music.
More to the point, we clearly shoudln't say "you can't add these
characters" (with {}) if you /can/ add them using the double-quote
method.
Valentin, I don't care if you like certain dangerous shorthands.
But I *do* care about explaining how to create notation with
lilypond. Remember that I know less about lilypond than you do.
If you can find a use for something that I suggest we should
remove, that wins the argument instantly. :)
Cheers,
