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?
Regards,
Lance
