Re: insertion of UTF-8 characters

[Trevor Daniels]

Tom

It has to be within a \markup and not in quotes.  And xc2a9 should be 00a9.

Try

   c'4^\markup { #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00a9)) }

or just

   \markup { "Copyright 2008" #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00a9)) }

outside the score block to place it in text, or for the copyright line, try

   copyright = \markup { #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00a9)) "2008" }
.
