Re: a Lilypond-LaTeX font question

[Mats Bengtsson]

The main issue here is that LilyPond wants UTF-8 encoded input whereas
standard LaTeX doesn't understand UTF-8. I know that there are packages to
LaTeX, or maybe separate versions of the latex command that can handle
UTF-8, but I don't know any details about these.

One alternative, to handle this incompatibility with standard LaTeX is 
to use
\lilypondfile{...} and write the LilyPond code in separate files that 
are saved in
UTF-8 encoding, whereas the main LaTeX file is kept in Latin1 encoding or
whatever you normally use for your LaTeX files.
