This works great. I use Bembo now. I also edited titledefs.tex
so that the correct fontfamily, fontshapes and sizes are selected 
when I run ly2dvi. It is all hardcoded (Q&D) at the moment, maybe 
I will think about a more flexible selection later.

The only miror flaw is that the the text-remarks on top of the beams
(e.g. a,2^"scream") are still CM-font. How can I select this font?

Thanks a lot,
