I'm using Lilypond 2.8.3 on an Apple G3.
When I try to open a file in Lilypond for processing it gives me the error message:
Unexpected error:
(UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 1307: unexpected code byte)
I'm editing the file in EMacs and then opening it from time to time in Lilypond and testing bits of it as I work. I'm not using any unusual characters and my Lilypond code (as far as I can see) is fine. What is going on?! Other files open normally.
Many thanks,
Vivian.
