Re: guitar strings

[Mats Bengtsson]

I don't understand the error messages that you get. The following
example works excellently here:

\version "2.4.2"
{
ais8 a _\markup {"\\textcircled{\\tiny 1}"}
a_"$\\!$ \\textcircled{\\textsc{1}}"

}

Note that you had forgot the backslashs on the LaTeX command \tiny.
