Hi Urs,
In the ly file created by musicxml2ly, any quoted string contains
strange characters which prevent Lilypond from compiling the file. On
my system, they are displayed thus (I include Kate's warning):
This was discussed recently. I don't recall exactly what it was about
but you might search the archives (both lilypond-user and
bug-lilypond). I would think it has to do with the pretty old Python
version shipped with LilyPond. As a workaround (you're right that's
definitely not the way it *should* be) you should be able to remove
these "characters" automatically.
Thanks for the pointer - I don't usually follow the goings on in
bug-lilypond, which is where that recent discussion took place. I'm sorry!
For future reference: The problem is discussed in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2018-08/msg00038.html
and
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-05/msg00230.html
It's not so bad since it turns out that (as Urs suggested) killing the
spurious "Delta" signs by search&replace (e.g. in Frescobaldi) solves
the problem. So it's just a slight inconvenience.
Best
Lukas
