Re: changing font of text-scripts globally

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you read the section about Text Scripts in the (on-line)
reference manual, you will find a link at the bottom of the
page to "TextScript", which gives a list of all properties
that can be set on this graphical object (grob, for short).

Among others, there is a property called font-family that
you can set to sans to get sans serif fonts.

If you want to set this property for the full score, do

\score{
  ...
  \paper{
    ...
    \translator{
      \ScoreContext
      TextScript \override #'font-family = #'sans
    }
  }
}

Similarly for instrument names, the section in the reference
manual has a link to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/InstrumentName.html
so you could use a very similar solution.
