Linux Libertine should be on your system already if you use texlive. If you
are on ubuntu, it may be in some texlive-extra package. If you are on
Windows or Mac... then I don't know. You may have to ask again on the list
on how to install (if at all) Libertine on such systems. Notice however
that standard system fonts on either Windows or Mac should give you plenty
of coverage for unicode. So, you could try the step below and just choose
the Windows- or Mac- standard fonts (I can't give you names, becaue I
don't use either syste,. I am referring to the default fonts they use).
Using XeLaTeX "should" be trivial. As Guenter says, you just select non-TeX
fonts in Documents>>Settings>>Fonts and then choose the font you want from
the dropdown menus.
Whether LilyPond will work with Xetex is another issue. I have never used
Lilypond and cannot tell you if there would be problems in that case.
Cheers,
Stefano
