Any hints possible on how to achieve quotation marks in lyrics? Preferrably
the language specific (German) versions.
ordinary quotation marks should be preceded with backslashes and

to have other quotation marks, simply take advantage of Unicode
encoding - unicode recognizes several different types of quotation
marks and treats them as different characters. The only problem is to
get them, since pressing key on the keyboard gives the character,
not one of the other quotations. I usually work around this by
pasting from a word processor or, for example, wikipedia
(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anf%C3%BChrungszeichen):
{ b }
\addlyrics {

(i don't know if the e-mail won't distort the encoding, but when i use
the code which i pasted above i get german quotation marks in Lily
output)

If you are working on a typical X terminal, you might use Multi-key (I
configured it to be Shift-AltGr) followed by , to get „ and by to
get ” and by to get “. In the same vein, you can use ', for ‚ and '
for ‘ and ' for ’. And, of course for » and for «.

Re: quotation marks in lyricmode
This is almost, what I just was about to write ...
just another hint: you can also enter any character in a markup with the
\char command. The codes are 8222 and 8220.
If you want to circumvent \markup \concat { \char #8222 Ich }, you might
use a music-function, to wrap syllables in quotes.
I have done things like that, if you're interested, I can search for them.
Cheers, Jan-Peter

Re: quotation marks in lyricmode
Thanks to all.
Janek's (simplest) solution just did it.
When I noticed that hitting doesn't work because it's a special char,
I didn't think of the (obvious) fact that the other quotation marks
aren't special but ordinary Unicode characters ...
So copy and paste worked smoothly :-[
