I know it's an odd request, but what if I actually want
the ~ character to print in lyrics?  None of these work:

"~"
'~'
\~
#"~"
##\~
#(string #\~)

\version "2.17.22"

mytilde = \markup { "~" }

\relative c'' { d8 c16 a bes8 f e' d c4 } 

\addlyrics { Schad’ um das schö -- ne\mytilde grü -- ne Band, }

(I just did put it somewhere in the example text -- at random)

Thanks.
