Just be aware of one thing if you do it this way (and this is true for any
font modifier like \bold, etc.): The printed space between "Les" and
"Meslanges" in your solution (which isn't wrong) will be different (usually
smaller) than if you put the whole phrase it italics like \italic "Les
Meslanges". Both ways are correct, but when you put the whole thing in
italics, LilyPond uses the actual font's "space" character instead of
letting LilyPond put in its own horizontal space. It's a little thing, but
just something to be aware of and log away. Most of the time, I don't think
you'll even notice the difference.
Regards,
Abraham
