Ouch...

The problem with '&' is that it fails on lyrics:
this works:
\new Lyrics \lyricmode { a&s; }

but this doesn't:
\new Lyrics \lyricmode { &s; }

There is the same kind of issues with almost every easy-to-type special
character:
@ % $ # \ / < > ^ ~ + = * ; ( ) [ ] { }

This is the exact list of every possible escape characters for a french
keyboard under linux:
§ £ µ € ¤ ¹ ² ' ` © ¨ ø Ø ≤ ≥ « » “ ” ↓ ¬ × ÷ ¿ ¡ ∕ ⋅ …

Of course, only a few of them are available under windows:
§ £ µ € ¤ ' `

If we consider US, british, german and spanish keyboards, this only
gives these two very bad characters:
' `

The best solution may be to solve this lyric problem first :\
