RE: Space in markup using \char

[Palmer, Ralph]

Greetings -

I upgraded to 2.11.27, and was successful, using \concat.

I did not run convert-ly, but the file was interpreted correctly, and there was no version error message in the log file. Is it not necessary to convert .ly files for the development version if you've been running the most recent stable version?

Obviously, something went wrong when I added the snippet a few hours
ago: the LSR is running 2.10, so I had to comment the relevant lines.

Here is the snippet, based on Steven's answer. It works here; if it doesn't work on your box, you will have to install LilyPond 2.11 version.

%%%%snippet

\layout {
       ragged-right = ##t
}

{
       c'1^\markup "Without \concat" |
       d'2_\markup {{\italic{"pi"\char #'249 }}{\dynamic {" f"}}} c'2 | } {
       c'1^\markup "With \concat" |
       d'2_\markup { \italic { \concat { "pi" \char #'249 } }{\dynamic{" f"}}} c'2 | } %%%%
