I came to a similar conclusion. It seems to me that something different is done between \markup and \lyrics. \markup is working fine for me but \lyrics does something else. I have yet to try out your suggestions but here is a kludgy workaround I figured out: When I used the ess-tset directly in the lyrics in my input file nothing was displayed in the dvi/ps/pdf files, not even a blank space. It was as though I had not put anything at that place in the lyrics. I looked in the *.tex file that lilypond-book generated and found that the ess-tset had been passed along and was right there in the file (yes, it took some nosing around to find it). Then I looked at places in the same *.tex file which were successfully producing the ess-tset in the *.ps output. In those places it was being represented as '"s'. In the case of \markup, the '\"s' was passed along to the *.tex file as '"s' but in lyrics '\"s' is passed along as '\"s', i.e. unchanged. In the case of the ess-tset in the *.tex file I tried replacing the ess-tset with '"s' and ran it through LaTeX --> dvips etc. and it worked. As for using \char, is that possible within lyrics? When preparing LaTeX documents I very frequently make use of \char codes. I simply use T1 encoding. I live in Iceland and often have to make use of non US-ASCII characters so I'm familiar with it. I haven't tried working out the LaTex wrapper you were talking about but do I understand that you are suggesting coming at it from the opposite direction? That is, rather than try to make the lyrics behave the way the other text does, I should figure out how the lyrics want to work and make the \markup text do the same? I have a short/dirty script for processing my *.lytex file. For the moment I'm simply placing a real ess-tset where I want it and I've added this to the script: sed -i 's/Ã/"s/g' lily-28151451.tex It is producing the desired results. If any of you sed jockeys out there can tell me how to specify all *.tex files I would appreciate it. The above line is doing the job because lilypond-book is giving that name to the file I need changed, but it will get really tedious if I need this done on multiple files. -David _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
