Hi Urs,
I worked out one of the problems.Thank you for testing. This at least shows me where the problem is - unfortunately an area I'm quite unfamiliar with ...
If there is only one lilyglyph in the message, surrounding it with the "@"-s is fine.
This works:message = "Is this @\lilyDynamics{p}@ necessary?"
If there are two lilyglyphs in the one annotate message the "@"-s need to surround both.This doesn't work:message = "Should this @\crescHairpin{}@ go all the way to the @address@hidden"
This does work:message = "Should this @\crescHairpin{} go all the way to the address@hidden"OK, the problem seems to be that the regular _expression_ that matches "any text between two "@" characters" doesn't correctly work when there are more than two such characters in the string. I would have to sort out how that regular _expression_ can match these pairs independently.
Your solution just circumvents the problem but is actually not acceptable (means: it is not acceptable that such a workaround is necessary) because that means that *anything* between the two LaTeX expressions will be also parsed literally, which may be OK in cases but may also cause trouble in other cases, e.g.
message = "The @\crotchet is wrong (see #12), but the \quaver@ should be fine."
Here I'd want the # to be printed (referencing an issue in the tracker), but as it is it would be printed literally instead of the escaped version \#.
But this makes me think if that hybrid approach of possibly mixed plain text and LaTeX code is really a good idea after all. Maybe it would be better to decide about a format for messages and simply treat the message consequently. That would mean there should be a global option saying "message body is entered as plaintext|latex|markdown|html" (as a project wide preference) and/or there can be a local property in an annotation saying
message-format = "latex"
What do you think?

I still can't get italic text to work.@address@hidden

Thanks Urs,
I had to try many different combinations, and don't ask me why, but this is what I eventually found worked:
@\crescHairpin{}
and
\lilyDynamics{ff}@
Why one of them needs the "@" symbol at the start and the other at the end I don't know.
I still can't get any variation of @\textit{dim.}@ to work.
Craig
Hm, well, that's definitely not what it should be like.
I'll try to have a look ASAP.

Hi all,
I'm having some trouble getting the Lilyglyphs to display in Latex after exporting the annotate inp file.
Do you put the Lilyglyphs code into the annotate message section?e.g.message = "This \decrescHairpin\ is very long. Would a \textit{dim.} be better?"
or
message = "Should this \crescHairpin\ go all the way to the \ff?"
Many thanks,
You can put arbitrary LaTeX code - and that includes lilyglyphs - in a message section, but you have to enclose everything in "@"-s._______________________________________________
Normally LaTeX special characters are escaped so that they _print_ as desired, so
message = "Here you should use \crescHairpin"
would be translated to the following in the .inp file:
{Here you should use \textbackslash crescHairpin}
I think your above examples should be written as:
message = "This @\decrescHairpin@ is very long. Would a @\textit{dim.}@ be better?"
message = "Should this @\crescHairpin@ go all the way to the @\lilyDynamics{ff}@"
