RE: special character

[Fairchild]

Jeroen -

Using 2.4.3, the \char may be used as:

c^\markup {"pi" \char #249 }

It doesn't kern properly, but \hspace can correct that.

Specifically, how do you use the \\`u construct?  I can't find a way.

Hello,

Thank you for your quick response. I'm using LilyPond-2.4.5 on RH9; my 
text editor (gedit-2.2.0) is set to use UTF-8 when saving. I didn't 
quite understand how to implement the "char #249" (still a newbie), so I 
tried using TeX coding "\\`u" and this works wonderfully well.

Thank you so much / Tusen takk

Please tell us which verison you are using when reporting problems.

The system for markup has changed drastically lately; if you use the latest 
2.5 releases, your code should work. If you use 2.4 or older, you could try 
to use the TeX coding for ù, I think this is something like "\\`u".
