Re: Copyright symbol

Hi everyone!

This definitly works. But what I observed is, that lilypond seems to be 
unable to estimate the length of the string as soon as you use the 
copyright symbol. This results in a misaligned string.

Unfortunately the same happens when using dots in names for composer or 
arranger in the following manner:

%<begin of code>

\version "2.4.2"

\header {
        composer = "A. B. Someone"
}

\score {
        some music...
}

%<end of code>

Changing header to composer = {A. B. Someone} results in a right-aligned 
string. This doesn't work for the copyright symbol and unfortunatly I 
haven't found a solution for this yet.

(IIRC there was a thread dealing with misaligned strings, but I can't 
find at the moment.)

Kind regards
