BTW, does someone know why add-text-replacements in attached file
doesn't work ?
I got the syntax from:
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/String-Syntax.html#String-Syntax
That's the Guile-2.0 manual. LilyPond uses 1.8 at the moment.
Hmm, so basically it can't be done.
Nonsense. You just need to use octal escapes for the actual UTF-8 byte
sequences. And you'll probably need to revisit that input once
Guile-2.0 actually gets used: I don't think there is an obvious
"portable" way to do it.
So, if neither of the ;-commented out lines below work, what do I do?
\paper {
#(include-special-characters)
#(add-text-replacements!
'(
("100" . "hundred")
("dpi" . "dots per inch")
;(":a" . "\u00E4" )
;(":b" . "\x00\xE4" )
;(":c" . (list->string (\x00 \xE4)) )
;(":d" . $ \markup \char ##x00E4 $ )
))
}
Uh, do you actually know what UTF-8 is? \x00\xE4 would rather be
UTF-16BE. The UTF-8 byte sequence is "\xc3\xa4" instead which works.
\x00 is not a valid number or character and you use it like a function
call because of failing to quote. #\000 would be a character, but it
needs to be in octal, so we are talking here about
(list->string '(#\303 #\244))
$ is not a valid method to escape from Scheme into LilyPond but rather
the other way round.
#{ \markup \char ##x00e4 #} does not work since markup commands like
\char are only evaluated at markup interpretation time.
You can use (ly:char->utf8 #x00e4) instead.
