RE: which encoding for umlaute

[James Lowe]

alternatively you can look up the table here:

http://www.utf8-chartable.de/

and then manually put in the value using the '\char ##' function.

For example

\header {

      title = \markup {\concat {"Bourr" \char ##x009 "e"} }
}

Which gives Bourrée with an e-acute (x009). The \concat switch means that 
'Bourrée' doesn't end up as 'Bourr é e'.

I use this method because I don't have a lot of accented characters to deal 
with and also I can move my ly files into virtually any plaintext editor 
without worrying about any weird conversions that a different OS or editor will 
do.

Dear community,
which encoding do I have to choose, to get the german "Umlaute" (like ä, ö,
etc.) properly shown on a windows-machine?
