As long as you use version 2.2.x or earlier, it's just to
replace each backslash by a double backslash if you want
to use the TeX commands:
\\cs \\i \\ug \\.I

In 2.3.x, the answer is different since TeX isn't used to
generate the output.

Hello to all

I'm trying to typeset a Turkish song but I have some trouble with lyrics.
Turkish uses the following letters which are absent from Latin 1:
- s cedilla (TeX \cs)
- dotless i (\i)
- g with half circle (\ug)
- capital I with dot (\.I)

It seems I can't use TeX-like sequences like \ss, etc...
I didn't succeed either in using \char.

If I replace those characters with their ASCII equivalent (dotless i with i for 
instance) and edit later the generated TeX file to put back the Turkish characters I 
can get the result I want. This shows that the characters I want to use do exist in 
the lyrics and title fonts. But this method is really difficult to use since the 
lyrics are broken down in syllables and scattered everywhere in the file, plus if I 
change anything in the sore I have to do it again.

Is there another way to use those characters in Lilypond ?

TIA
