Any hints possible on how to achieve quotation marks in lyrics? Preferrably
the language specific (German) versions.
"ordinary" quotation marks should be preceded with backslashes and
included inside external quotation marks:
{ b }
\addlyrics {
"\"quote\""
}
to have other quotation marks, simply take advantage of Unicode
encoding - unicode recognizes several different types of quotation
marks and treats them as different characters. The only problem is to
get them, since pressing " key on the keyboard gives the " character,
not one of the other quotations. I usually work around this by
pasting from a word processor or, for example, wikipedia
(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anf%C3%BChrungszeichen):
{ b }
\addlyrics {
„modal“
}
(i don't know if the e-mail won't distort the encoding, but when i use
the code which i pasted above i get german quotation marks in Lily
output)
cheers,
Janek
