Re: using in title
Hi Jean-Marc, The problem you face here, is due to the fact that lily doesn't print the text, but let's LaTeX do the printing. The '' symbol is a reserved symbol, which means that it has a special function in LaTex. To get the '' symbol printed one has to place a \ right before the '' symbol. Thus, the corrected header should look like this: \header {piece=Les Galans \ les Dames} And now everything works as intended! :D Thorkil At 17:01 26-5-04, you wrote: Hi list !
