I've been thinking about that, too.

Yes, I used it in the beginning; but as you wrote in the latex/CJK/doc/CJK.txt|
Korean input "CJK does not emulate the behaviour of HLaTeX, it only supports 
its fonts." I therefore successfully integrated all that hlatex-stuff into my 
texlive. At first it seemed to work fine -- until some small disadvantages came 
up (e.g. emphasized Latin appear slanted and not italic, ther's no use of T1-
fonts like marvosym, pifont, latexsym,... and now the same with lilypond; 
hopefully someday a genius will solve all of it within latex3 ;) ).

The functionality of CJK/CJKutf8 is quite impressive. But I switched to hlatex 
for a particular document now mainly because I couldn't access any hlatex-fonts 
and wasn't able to change the encoding either. (But this will probably be 
discussed at another forum ;) ) With hlatex I got all fonts now and 
additionally Korean formatting abilities. So I'll continue to write the 
document with hlatex. Nevertheless, I got another idea: 

After mispending hours on trying musixtex, I copied that lilypond-code into a 
new tex-file which uses CJK.sty -- et viola -- it works (for now). I really 
produced some snippets of staffs and notes :)
Well, I still have to 'clean' them and, in the following I'll add the lyrics. 
When everything is OK, I'll convert the resulting .eps-files into jpeg, paste 
them into my hlatex-document and make that a pdf. A bit complicated but better 
than nothing.

Unfortunately there's another small problem with CJK.sty (or say more likely 
with my brain~). Until now, though I seemingly got all necessary fonts, I've 
still been able to use only the default font myoungjo (mj) for Korean. But 
because I prefer pilgi (pg) for typesetting the lyrics here -- what can I do?
