Re: which encoding for umlaute

[James Lowe]

Stefan,

Yes as David so eloquently put it, I made a mistake in my example. Sorry 
for the confusion.

Instead of

\char ##x009

It should have been

\char ##x0e9

However it can also be

\char ##x00e9

Which is the actual value in that link I gave you.

Here is another example just to prove the point and hopefully make it 
obvious on how to apply these values.

---

\version "2.12.2"

\header {

     title = \markup {\concat {"B" \char ##x0f6 "u" \char ##x159 "r" 
\char ##x0e9 "e"} }
}

{a b c d e}

---

Have fun

James
