[Steven Weber]

Try using \concat:  \markup { \concat { "S" \char #233 "an" } }

Subject: markup in header

Greetings -

I'm running:
LilyPond 2.10.16
Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2
ConTEXT 0.98.5 with LilyPond Highlighter

I'm trying to get "é" into "Séan" in the title and composer headers. I
haven't been successful. I've looked in the manual and in the list archives,
but can't find what I need. ConTEXT will save to DOS, but not to UTF-8, that
I can find. I did find the character code : #233, and that will produce the
correct character when I use it with \markup and \char in the header, but
the program leaves a space before and after the "é". [Aside : I'm not using
JEdit because it takes so long to load, and I've gotten used to ConTEXT.]
The following snippet shows the behavior.

%%%%%%%%% Begin Snippet %%%%%%%%%

\version "2.10.16"
\include "english.ly"

\header {
        title = "Sean's Jig"
        composer = \markup {S\char #233 an}
        }
\layout {
        \context {
                \Score
                \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
                                }
                        }
\paper {
        indent = 0.0\cm
        }

SeansJig = {
   \clef treble
        \key a \dorian
        \time 6/8


   \repeat volta 2 {
   \partial 8*1 b'8 |
   c''4.^"Am" b'^"G" |
        a'8^"Am" g' e' d' b g |
        a4 e'8 e' d' b |
        d'^"G" e' g' a' g' e' |
        \break
        c''4.^"Am" b'16^"G" c'' d''8 b' |
        a'^"Am" g' e' d' b g |
        a4 e'8 e' d' b |
        d'^"G" b g a4^"Am" |
        }


}

\score {
       \SeansJig
       }

%%%%%%%%%% End Snippet %%%%%%%%%

I've also tried :
        composer = \markup {"S" \char #233 "an"}
and
        composer = \markup {"S\char #233 an"}
but the result is identical;
        composer = \markup {"S \char #233 an"}
produces
S \char #233 an
in the .pdf.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Ralph
