Hello Marc,

the easiest way to choose a font is to issue it as a plain TeX command;
see the following example:

Title: The Title
Composer: The Composer
Style: Singer

%%\\tenit\
g4 g g g | g0 |
L: this is it-al-ics


If you get unexpected results, e.g. guitar chords or other text
elements also being affected by the font change, please send me an
example and I'll try to find a more elaborate way.

Regards,

Rainer
