15 The definition of lyrics mode is ludicrous, and this will remain so
16 until the authors of LilyPond acquire a deeper understanding of
17 character encoding, or someone else steps up to fix this.
20 A word in Lyrics mode begins with: an alphabetic character, @code{_},
21 @code{?}, @code{!}, @code{:}, @code{'}, the control characters @code{^A}
22 through @code{^F}, @code{^Q} through @code{^W}, @code{^Y}, @code{^^},
23 any 8-bit character with ASCII code over 127, or a two-character
24 combination of a backslash followed by one of @code{`}, @code{'},
25 @code{"}, or @code{^}.
27 Subsequent characters of a word can be any character that is not a digit
28 and not white space. One important consequence of this is that a word
29 can end with `@code{@}}', which may be confusing. However, LilyPond will
30 issue a warning. Any @code{_} character which appears in an unquoted
31 word is converted to a space. This provides a mechanism for introducing
32 spaces into words without using quotes. Quoted words can also be used
33 in Lyrics mode to specify words that cannot be written with the above
