Hi David. I am the OP.
Looking at your example, you have a bit of code similar to another person who has assisted me. \markup \rN { I } I can't find documentation for the escape sequence and it throws and error when I try to compile. :14:11 <0>: error: unknown escaped string: `\rN' \markup \rN { I } Can you shed some light on where this item is discussed in documentation and why I receive and error?
