RE: Space in markup using \char

[Palmer, Ralph]

Thank you Steven, but no luck. I get "error: unknown escaped string: `\concat' 
", and the .pdf has "concat pi ù f" (in the proper fonts).

The \concat command should fix this:

\markup { \italic { \concat { "pi" \char #'249 } } }

Greetings -

Lilypond is a great program, and I appreciate all the help I've gotten from the 
members of this list.

I had this problem once before, and just gave up, but perhaps things have 
changed. I've checked the manual, the program reference, and the user list 
archives, with no success.

I'm running LilyPond 2.10.16 under WindowsXP Pro, SP2.

I'm trying to use \markup to insert <più f> below the staff. Using <\char 
#'249>, I can get the correct last character in piu, but there's always a space 
between <pi> and <u>. I'm including a short snippet illustrating the problem.

++++++++++++ Begin Snippet +++++++++++

%Section Test
%piu f problem

\version "2.10.16"
\include "english.ly"
\paper {
        ragged-right = ##t
}

SectionTest = {
        \key c \major
        \clef treble
        \time 4/4

        c'1 |
        d'2_\markup {{\italic{"pi"\char #'249 }}{\dynamic{" f"}}} c'2 | }

\Score {
        \SectionTest
}

++++++++++ End Snippet +++++++++++++

Thank you again for all your help,

Ralph
