Re: Need help with this simple lyric
Mats, I think I figured it out, sort off. The Maltese cross character
(U+2720) is part of the dingbats unicode code block. On a windows XP
machine this character is part of the Wingdings font family. The
Wingdings
fonts do not have unicode definitions. So Lilypond gets confused and
Jedit
gets confused. Thanks for your help.
in openoffice , the Wingdings code for this character is shown as F0AA =
61528 (decimal)
To obtain this character, you have to type in JEdit
Alt + 61528
It give you a "X" symbol but lilypond convert it in the right font
\version "2.10.25"
\score {
c'1^\markup { \override #'(font-name . "Wingdings") {X}}

I've never used Jedit myself, but a quick look in the Jedit manual reveals that there is a full section devoted to "Character encodings" which should answer your question. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Need help with this simple lyric
Just make sure to save the file using UTF-8 encoding
and simply insert the symbol directly into the file.
There shouldn't be any reason to use \char.

On my (2.10.20) system the file compiles, but doesn´t show the cross

enclose it in "..." together with the O like "+ O".
I tried "+ O" but it did not work. The problem is the "+" character is a

the quote you just get the escape text. My code was

I tried "+ O" but it did not work. The problem is the "+" character is a
unicode character U+2720, and if you enclose the UTF-8 escape code inside
the quote you just get the escape text. My code was
\addlyrics{ \markup \char ##x2720 O Lord o -- pen thou our lips}

Use \override InstrumentName #'font-shape = #'italic (I would guess that the VocalName layout object was removed some time in the past to unify the syntax; also see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/Instrument_005fname_005fengraver#Instrument_005fname_005fengraver ).

Re: Need help with this simple lyric
Hi Peter,
to let LilyPond treat more syllables as one, easily encloses these in " ... "
On my (2.10.20) system the file compiles, but doesn´t show the cross
character. I would copy the character itself into the source code and
enclose it in "..." together with the O like "+ O".
I don´t see what the markup command within \addlyrics is for ... do you know it?
For italicizing the word "Officiant" I tried to put this before the
\set ... command:
\override VocalName #'font-shape = #'italic
But it didn´t work. If you say LyricText instead of VocalName it
works, but that´s not what you wanted.
In addition I would advise you to indent you LilyPond code for a
better reading experience, like this:
\version "2.10.20"
\new Staff{
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t
\autoBeamOff
\cadenzaOn
\key g \major
e'8 g'4 g'8 g'8 fis'8 g'8 g'4
\bar "|"
}
\addlyrics {
% Doesn´t work:
\override VocalName #'font-shape = #'italic
\set vocalName = "Officiant"
"+ O" Lord, o -- pen thou our lips.
}
