Sorry, ignore this, Twas a cut and paste problem.

Yes, both are fine.

Yes, all kinds of stuff is possible.  Would it not be better to just use

   latexpackages = "fontenc, babel"

and introduce:

   latexcommands = "\\fontencoding{T1}\\language{swedish}"

etc?  We're just looking for something simple, I think, that does not
require editing the lilypond.py output.  What about inputencoding?
lilypond.py now sets latin1, that seems silly?
