Re: Issue 961 in lilypond: Þrows error upon using character combination !} in ðe closing part of a lyrics block.

[Ian Hulin]

þank you very much for your report, complete wið ðe interesting 
Anglo-Saxon/Icelandic proposed spelling reform!.
In fact, Lilypond gave you a *warning* saying it didn't understand what 
you wanted when you coded \addlyrics { Jesus in deiner Geburt!}

A warning from software generally means that the program can cope with 
your code, but it can only do so by making assumptions if it continues, 
which may not be what you had intended.

Also the second error "unexpected \addlyrics error results from the 
assumptions Lily made when handling the code it just warned you about.

What do you actually want by reporting this problem?
Would you like Lilypond to catch the potential problem when parsing your 
file and
say something like the following

Silent Night.ly:37:8 error: syntax error: unterminated lyrics argument 
for \addlyrics, could not detect separate closing '}' character
and then stop the compilation?

Cheers,

Ian Hulin
