Thank you for your insight, Saul, For the foregoing code, I replaced $ with #, but now that isn't working, producing similar result as the first example of this LilyPond manual: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/substitution-functions-and-relative-octave-entry
I will try to keep experimenting, trying again with make-relative function, but if you or anyone have any insight, I'd be happy to hear. Thanks again, Yoshi On Fri, Sep 13, 2024 at 11:10 AM Saul Tobin <[email protected]> wrote: > I believe this stems from using $ rather than #, since this will insert > literally c' and cause the apostrophe to be parsed twice.
