The error message is certainly misleading. My guess is that you
have done copy/paste from the PDF version of the manual. The
problem with that is that the quote characters get wrong.
Correct syntax should be
\override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
i.e. you should use plain quotes.

hi,
i guess this is just some stupid mistake on my behalf: i can't get this
code to work, because I always get an "Parsing...<unnamed port>: In
expression ’font-shape: <unnamed port>: Unbound variable: ’font-shape"
error. i'm not really a programmer, so I don't know what to do about that.
thanks for your help,
