CJK scripts and lilypond

[Werner LEMBERG]

[This is a follow-up to a similar mail from July.]

Currently, it is not possible to directly use lilypond with CJK
lyrics -- I plan to fix this.

On the other hand, you can easily use CJK characters for lyrics with
lilypond-book.  The only drawback is that the syllable length for
lyrics is always based on the EC font metrics, even if the characters
are interpreted in a completely different way.  This will change in
the not too distant future.

Attached are the input files sakura-sakura.tex and
xiao-haizi-guai-guai.tex which demonstrate this.
