Re: how to include various ascii characters (like: !) in the text?

[Mats Bengtsson]

You could say \\char214 which will just be forwarded to the

directly into the file instead, since it enables Lilypond to
calculated the correct width of each syllable when it determines
the spacing between the notes.
