RE: Space in markup using \char

[Steven Weber]

The \concat command should fix this:

\markup { \italic { \concat { "pi" \char #'249 } } }

Subject: Space in markup using \char

Greetings -

Lilypond is a great program, and I appreciate all the help I've gotten from
the members of this list.

I had this problem once before, and just gave up, but perhaps things have
changed. I've checked the manual, the program reference, and the user list
archives, with no success.

I'm running LilyPond 2.10.16 under WindowsXP Pro, SP2.

I'm trying to use \markup to insert <più f> below the staff. Using <\char
#'249>, I can get the correct last character in piu, but there's always a
space between <pi> and <u>. I'm including a short snippet illustrating the
problem.

++++++++++++ Begin Snippet +++++++++++

%Section Test
%piu f problem

\version "2.10.16"
\include "english.ly"
\paper {
        ragged-right = ##t
}

SectionTest = {
        \key c \major
        \clef treble
        \time 4/4

        c'1 |
        d'2_\markup {{\italic{"pi"\char #'249 }}{\dynamic{" f"}}} c'2 |
}

\Score {
        \SectionTest
}

++++++++++ End Snippet +++++++++++++

Thank you again for all your help,

Ralph
