Consider using something like \section{Cant\'ar}?

If you use
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
you can enter accented notes from the keyboard, e.g. geïnteresseerd.

You don't need Lilypond here.  There are note symbols in the wasysym
package.  (I'm not sure there is a sixteenth note too, though).

For more (La)TeX related questions, you can also resort to comp.text.tex...

Good luck, H.
