Re: search and replace on all included files on compile
Try
```
\version "2.24.2"
\paper {
#(add-text-replacements!
'(("1↑" . "1")))
}
{ c'^\markup "1↑" }
```

" 1↑" replace with " 1" (e.g. remove the up arrow when it is preceded
by a 1)
Is it possible to do this with a global search and replace on compile
such that I do not need to edit each individual file (of which there
are hundreds) manually?
LilyPond does support basic replacements for text markup:
\paper {
#(add-text-replacements! '(("1↑" . "1")))
}

Re: search and replace on all included files on compile
Thanks Curt, Unfortunately, I have already manually edited to the extent that tweaking the generating program would result in a lot of lost work. Typically I try not to edit post generation, but that was not possible in this particular case. I am on arch linux. And yes, I am sure it would be possible to do it through the terminal, but I am trying to avoid destructively editing the files (simply out of fear even though I could always roll back). I would be replacing only a few unicode characters, but many, many occurrences.

Re: search and replace on all included files on compile
Michael, You mentioned that the score is programmatically generated. If so, can you modify the generating program and regenerate the score? Otherwise, a more complete example would be nice. Are you trying to do a simple string replacement of a few (unicode) characters, or are you trying to replace larger chunks of LilyPond code? It would also help to know what operating system environment you are using. The answer may be to make a copy of the whole tree and run a search/replace utility recursively on all the files.
