once more about encodings (ver. 2.4.2)

[pdz]

Hi all,

I suppose that mr A.Einstein got stuck installing lilypond on cygwin :)
so it's my turn now to tackle the encodings problem in lilypond.

The thing is: are there any other (input) encodings than latin1 and TeX?

As I'm Polish, latin1 is not an option for me, and TeX is a little bit
'inconveniet'. (Try to read this: "g\\k{e}\\'sl\\k{a}" -- this is a
5-letter word!)

And one more thing -- more important than just 'inconvenience' --
there's something wrong with horizontal spacing of words that contain
TeX-encoded characters. This happens both in lyrics and headers.

Please take a look at the attached example: the title is centered only
because I've used \hspace.
The subtitle is not manually corrected, so it's not centered.
Now, the lyrics:
I've written two stanzas: one using TeX-encoded Polish characters, and
the second -- using just latin equivalents. As you can see the spacing
is not the same (it should be I think) and hyphens are misplaced.

thanks,
Pawel


\version "2.4.0"

% Nie jest dobrze ludziska, nie jest dobrze.
% Ten plik ma byc wzorcem do radzenia sobie z problemem polskich literek

% Problem jest o tyle kiepski, ze z wersji na wersje metoda sie zmienia; 
% kiedys dzialala babelowa notacja prefixowa (\"z \"o itd)
% a niedlugo moze sie okazac, ze polskich literek w ogole w lilypondzie 
% nie bedzie (poki co backend PS dziala tylko na latin1)

% Zaczynamy ten plik od wersji 2.4 lilyponda, wiec o historii nie pisze:

% Ver: 2.4.0:

%       Dla przejzystosci znak '\' zapisujemy w lilypondzie zawsze '\\' 
(chociaz np.
%               w przypadku \l{} czy \k{a} nie trzeba (nie wiadomo dlaczego)).  
%   Problem:    lilypond nie umie poprawnie ocenic odstepow miedzy wyrazami 
jezeli

problem z np. centrowaniem.
