"ordinary" quotation marks should be preceded with backslashes and
included inside external quotation marks:
{ b }
\addlyrics {
"\"quote\""
}
to have other quotation marks, simply take advantage of Unicode
encoding - unicode recognizes several different types of quotation
marks and treats them as different characters. The only problem is to
get them, since pressing " key on the keyboard gives the " character,
not one of the other quotations. I usually work around this by
pasting from a word processor or, for example, wikipedia
(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anf%C3%BChrungszeichen):
{ b }
\addlyrics {
„modal“
}
(i don't know if the e-mail won't distort the encoding, but when i use
the code which i pasted above i get german quotation marks in Lily
output)
cheers,
Janek
