The only unicode characters I ever need are in fact, on rare occasions, some Latin-1 character (à é è ç ö ü etc.) in a song title. The ASCII editor I use accepts these characters, but then LilyPond \markup just skips them. I would rather not switch to a utf-8 editor. Is there any way to incorporate Latin-1 (or unicode) characters into an ASCII LilyPond file, using HTML notation or some other trick? It wouldn't have to be "convenient" if it would just work. I have used only LP's built-in roman and sans fonts; would using an external TTF (TrueType) font give me access to Latin-1 characters that LilyPond would recognize? I'm running LilyPond 2.6.0 under Windows. -- Tom _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
