One possible problem is missing or wrong inputenc in LaTeX-file. I
have used following when typesetting lyrics in Finnish, in Swedish and
in German:
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
And feed through LaTeX, not directly to TeX:
latex model.tex
Programs I use:
LilyPond 1.2.0.jbr1-95
Windows 95B (OSR2)
MikTeX 1.20c (July 1999)
PythonWin 1.5.2
In Lily 1.2.0 there's a problem in hyphen positioning when using
scandinavian or other umlaut-characters. Scand chars are treated as if
their width were zero and hyphen then positioned too close to the
preceeding syllable. Problem fixed by Mats Bengtsson in newer
releases, I think. Not yet available for Windows, unfortunately.
Workaround is to add spaces (= underscores in Lily) to syllables with
scand chars, about twice the number of scands. An example:
härlighet -> här__ -- lig -- het
Discussion and Mats Bengtsson's patch in:

At the end of this mail there's "LaTeX-envelope" (model.tex) I have
used for songs with lyrics included in the staff.
Happy Lilying!
