Hi Ming,

someone with more knowledge about Unicode (and Windows) could perhaps
explain why that happens, but since you also asked for a workaround:

Instead of using \bookOutSuffix, you could try with \bookOutputName, like this:

\book {
  \bookOutputName "+中国曲子+"

Which works fine over here (version 2.18, Mac OSX 10.8.4).

However, especially encoding issues are likely to depend on the operating system.

And Ming, please note that it is compulsory on bug-lilypond and strongly advised also on lilypond-user that you use Minimal examples. It often makes understanding the problem and testing solutions much easier. So in the current case, the file could have been as short as

\version "2.19.3"
\bookOutputSuffix "SA+TB"

{ c' }

, which by the way shows the same behavior on linux.

Best regards,
Simon

Simon:

Thank you for your simple code to demonstrate my problem.  Is this a bug in lily? If it is how to submit to bug report?

Fredrik:

Thank you suggesting using \bookOutputName, I see on the log file indicating .ps file is converted to pdf, but I cannot find it

Here is the revise lily code:

\version "2.19.3"

%(1 ...........)

\markup { This generate default pdf file with file name}

{ c' d ' e' f' }

\book {

\markup { This generate pdf file with SA_TB instead of SA+TB }

\bookOutputSuffix "SA+TB"

{ c' }

}

%(2 ...........)

\book {

\markup {This does not generates a pdf file}

\bookOutputName "ab+中国曲子+"

{d' d' }

}

%(3 .....................)

\book {

\markup {this generate error}

\bookOutputSuffix "男+女"

{ e' e' e' e' }

}

And the log file:

' e' e' e' }

}

And here is the log file:
