Re: "Umlaute" in \header
It's certainly no surprise that your "problems" started when you changed from 2.4 to 2.6, since in version 2.4 you could only use latin1 encoding (or plain ASCII), which means that LilyPond could only handle western European text, whereas in verson 2.6 you can "only" use UTF-8 encoding, which means that LilyPond can handle almost any language in the world. Maybe you have some setting in your .emacs file that prevents the multi-language support (MULE) to work correctly. For example, in my .emacs, I had a setting (setq-default enable-multibyte-characters nil) which prevented MULE from working correctly. Uncommenting that line solved the problem. An easy way to see if your .emacs is a problem is to run Emacs using 'emacs -q myfile.ly'. If you add the following lines to the end of your file, then Emacs will automatically use the correct UTF-8 encoding: %%% Local variables: %%% coding: utf-8 %%% End: /Mats Wolfgang Mechsner wrote: Indeed I use emacs in Linux.

Re: "Umlaute" in \header
The mystery was indeed in the .emacs file. The following setting (standard-display-european t) (set-language-environment 'Latin-1) contradicted the utf-8 setting: (custom-set-variables ... '(current-language-environment "UTF-8") '(default-input-method "rfc1345") '(global-font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock)) ... Thank you a lot for your solution! Wolfgang. Am Donnerstag, 15.
