\version "2.18.2"

\header {
   title = \markup { \char ##x00c6 "nigma" }
}

Rather title = \markup \concat { \char ##x00c6 nigma }

or simply  title = "Ænigma"

After you go to “Tools/Special Characters”, you must select “Latin-1 
Supplement”.

If you’re using Frescobaldi, the easiest way is to go to "Tools/Special 
Characters" and double-click on the AE ligature to insert it directly into your 
string:

title = \markup { "Ænigma” }

There are no spacing problems with this.

The problem with imaginary problems is that there is no way to check
whether an imaginary fix applies.

It could in some circumstances be poor spacing in the font itself. Is there a 
tracking work around for such circumstances?

Unwanted spacing in text

2017-11-12 Thread William Zeitler 
For a title I want the Latin word "Aenigma", using a unicode character 
for the initial "AE" ligature. It works fine except for an unsightly 
space between the "AE" character and the subsequent plain text. How do I 
fix this?


Thanks!
