Conversion of "LaTeX encoding" to any other encoding, esp. UTF-8 is  
easy.
I've a little script ready for such - but it converts whole files, I  
don't know if it will affect LilyPond commands.

Here:
http://www.fiee.net/texnique/?menu=0-2-2&lang=en
you can download the "mab2bib" archive, it includes "utf2latex.py".

Just rename that to "latex2utf.py" (or any other encodings, like  
"latin12utf" or "macroman2utf", it analyzes its filename when called).

It should work with all encodings that Python knows of. Normally  
LaTeX is not one of them, so the also included "latex.py" must reside  
in the same directory.

Have fun!
