File ly/special-characters.ly (right):

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode1
ly/special-characters.ly:1: #(define special-characters-alist
Is there any (public) command to add a replacement to that alist (or
remove one)?
Or do you have to repeat the whole list if you want to add/remove just
one entry?

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode14
ly/special-characters.ly:14: ("\nbhyphen" . "‑")
\\nbhyphen?

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode36
ly/special-characters.ly:36: ("_" . " ") ; thinspace
Will this work with words that have a wanted underscore? Or will the
underscore always be replaced with a thinspace?

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode41
ly/special-characters.ly:41: ("\textbullet" . "•")
\\textbullet ?

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode80
ly/special-characters.ly:80: ("\ng" . "ŋ")
Should that be \\ng?

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode85
ly/special-characters.ly:85: ("\\OE" . "Œ")
Is the replacement always done on the longest string found? In
particular, if you wan to write ØE (Øe is a danish name apparently),
you'll have to use \\OE, which might or might not be matched with the
sequence for Πinstead...

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode88
ly/special-characters.ly:88: ("\th" . "þ")
\\th?

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode94
ly/special-characters.ly:94: ("\times" . "×")
\\times

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode97
ly/special-characters.ly:97: ("\twosuperior" . "²")
\\twosupererior

http://codereview.appspot.com/4553056/diff/1/ly/special-characters.ly#newcode98
ly/special-characters.ly:98: ("\threesuperior" . "³")
\\threesuperior ?
