I should check but I don’t think python accepts that type of space. If you want
this then you have to include at least these other Unicode spaces:
figure space U+2007
narrow no-break space U+202F
word joiner U+2060
zero width no-break space U+FEFF
Surely this would just complicate the lexer/parser for an uncommon corner case?
People may post in HTML – like it or not - but I don’t think are are entering
lilypond in HTML with and so on.
