The main issue here is that LilyPond wants UTF-8 encoded input whereas
standard LaTeX doesn't understand UTF-8. I know that there are
packages to
LaTeX, or maybe separate versions of the latex command that can handle
UTF-8, but I don't know any details about these.
One alternative, to handle this incompatibility with standard LaTeX
is to use
\lilypondfile{...} and write the LilyPond code in separate files
that are saved in
UTF-8 encoding, whereas the main LaTeX file is kept in Latin1
encoding or
whatever you normally use for your LaTeX files.

I'm new to LaTeX, but not lilypond. I'm using TeXShop, and I'm
getting some not really desired output.
\begin{document}
\begin{lilypond}
\version "2.11.36"
\include "deutsch.ly"
\header { title = "Beauty—be not caused—It Is—" instrument
= "Querflöte" }
{c'2 fis'4 h'8 a'}

I don't get the umlauts and I don't get the characters after my em
dashes. I'm assuming that LaTeX doesn't like getting em dashes
input, but how do I get lilypond to process the em dash inside of
LaTeX? Same thing for the umlaut?
