Re: latin1 characters with lilypond-book -f html

[Mats Bengtsson]

For the moment, you may be lucky enough that the following works
(depends on what special characters you use):
 \lyrics{
\property Lyrics . LyricText \set #'font-name = #'"ecrm1000"
The actual lyrics ... }


Technical details intended for address@hidden:

The problem is that lilypond-book runs latex directly on the
lily-*.tex file from lilypond-bin, which doesn't give the same
LaTeX preamble as when you use the lilypond script. In particular,
it doesn't include
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

Would anything break if we just add this line to the LaTeX
preamble lines in tex/lilyponddefs.tex? Otherwise, that would
be the simple solution.

Hmm, I see a possible problem for people that already fiddle with
the font settings to be able to typeset non-european lyrics and
therefore don't want to use latin1 input encoding.
