Re: a Lilypond-LaTeX font question

[Mats Bengtsson]

If I were you, I would try to narrow down what the real problem is, step 
by step.
I can verify that your second example below works just fine, when I try to
process it with lilypond-book in Linux. This is true also if I replace 
the \"
commands in the LaTeX part of the document with the corresponding
unicode characters üäö.

I have never used TeXShop, but I guess you use the Lilypond-LaTeX engine 
from
http://users.dimi.uniud.it/~nicola.vitacolonna/freesoftware.html. As far 
as I can see,
it just runs lilypond-book and then latex, so nothing strange should 
happen there.
However, I would recommend to use the pdflatex approach instead, i.e. to 
edit
Lilypond-LaTeX.engine and replace the lines starting with "if (( 
lilypond-book ..."
by (please note that I have not tested this, so it's likely to contain 
some typo):

if ({ lilypond-book --output="$1:r"-out --pdf "$1" }) then
 cd "$1:r"-out
 if ({ pdflatex "$1" }) then
   mv "$1:r".pdf ..
 endif
endif


At least in some Windows versions, I seem to recall that the --psfonts 
approach
didn't work so well, but --pdf + pdflatex didn't show the same problems.

Can you see any log printouts from the calls to lilypond-book? If so, 
you could try
to add the flag --verbose to the call to lilypond-book above. Otherwise, 
you could
try to manually run the commands in a command prompt, to be able to see 
all the
log printouts.
