If you include
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
in the header of your document file, it should work fine.
(However, if you also include
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
it will not work!)

That will also work as long as you don't use the T1 fontencoding.
The cause of the problem is that the Lilypond generated TeX code
sets all fonts using low-level TeX. This is unfortunate, but
I'm not sure about the cleanest way to change it.
