Re: unnamed port error

[Mats Bengtsson]

The error message is certainly misleading. My guess is that you
have done copy/paste from the PDF version of the manual. The
problem with that is that the quote characters get wrong.
Correct syntax should be
\override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
i.e. you should use plain quotes.
