Re: using & in title

[Mats Bengtsson]

Anything you write in the header fields is sent directly to
LaTeX which formats the titling. So, this is really a LaTeX
question, not a LilyPond question.
In ordinary LaTeX, the solution is to "escape" the & with a
backslash: \&
However, in the LilyPond input, you have to escape the backslash
once more, so you should write \\& to get a & in the printed output.
