Concat should work, but only if youre using 2.11.
The easy way to fix this problem is to save your files in UTF-8 format then you can use the suggested subtitle without any issue. If youre running on Windows, you can open the file in Notepad, and choose File->Save As, and set the Encoding value to UTF-8 before saving. BTW, its always helpful to include the version of Lilypond youre using, and what OS youre running on in emails like this, since its often important to know that information to successfully answer your question. --Steven From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Padalino Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 4:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: \char arg not working properly Hi, Brand new LilyPond user here. I installed it yesterday on my XP machine. I'm having trouble getting the subtitle to display properly. I've done a search of the archives and none of the solutions offered are working for me. The command: subsubtitle = \markup { "from \"Instruccion de musica sobra la guitarra espa" \char #'241 "ola\" (Zarago" \char #'231 "a, 1674)" } Results in: from "Instruccion de musica sobra la guitarra espa ñ ola" (Zarago ç a, 1674)" The same thing happens if I don't use the single quote after the pound sign. The command (suggested in the archives): subsubtitle = "from \"Instruccion de musica sobra la guitarra española\" (Zaragoça, 1674)" Results in: from "Instruccion de musica sobra la guitarra espa" ( Zarago 1674) Does anyone know how I can eliminate the spaces before and after the special characters? The \concat command was also offered, but it didn't work because I think it's been discontinued (At least it's not in the documentation PDF)? Steve
