If you know how to set the input encoding and font encoding in LaTeX to
produce Greek lyrics, it should be straightforward.
- Enter the lyrics in the .ly file as you would write it in LaTeX but with
the rhythmic indications added as usual.
- Use 'ly2dvi --keeplilypond' to process the file. Edit the generated
LaTeX file (the file ending with <number>.tex) to handle the
Greek correctly.
- Run latex on the edited file.
- If it works, tell the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list what you did and
it might be incorporated into a future version of ly2dvi or even better,
make a patch yourself.
If you just use the \alpha, \beta,... macros, then you could use ly2dvi
straight ahead without the extra trouble described above.
