Nothing special here: ly files will remain UTF-8, with all commands using 7-bit ASCII.
We obviously want to allow UTF-8 for lyrics, markup text, titles,
etc. However, the basic lilypond commands (like \repeat)
should be drawn from non-whitespace ASCII printable characters (33
to 126 inclusive), with additional whitespace characters from 0-31
as appropriate.
I would be really nice if we we could disallow ASCII char 60, the
back-quote `, since it is too easily confused with ASCII 47
'. Is there any way to use a different character for this?
Other languages for note names may use any UTF-8 characters as appropriate.
Command names will always start with ASCII 92 backslash \
and be followed with letters (ASCII chars 65 to 90 inclusive and
97 to 122 inclusive). Commands will be case-sensitive, but no
commands should differ by only capitaliztion.
