Medium answer: I don't know how. Long answer: some people have investigated this; if you're interested, search the mailist. I don't know enough about how lilypond builds documentation, and/or latex, and/or texinfo, to fix it. A patch to fix this would be __greatly__ appreciated.

Thanks Thies, That curly quote symbol was copied, using the copy function, from section 7.1.5 of the PDF version of the User Manual where I note other instances of the same sort. Had I typed the string I wouldn't have had the problem as I don't have that character on my keyboard. But, it's handy to snip bits from the manual. Can that be corrected?

Controlling stave separation
I have three rhythmic staves in a system. The stems are made transparent so only the note heads show. I would like to reduce the spacing between the staves considerably. I tried \override Stem #’length = #0 but I get an unbound variable error. I suppose this only applies to the piano staff. There must be a control for this somewhere.
