(defun texinfo-prettify-symbols-compose-p (start end _match)
   ;; We know the matches all start with a backslash and end with
   ;; a word-element.
   (not (or (memq (char-before start) '(?\\))
            (memq (char-syntax (or (char-after end) ?\s)) '(?w))
            (nth 8 (syntax-ppss)))))
(add-hook 'texinfo-mode-hook
           (lambda ()
             (push '("\\alpha" . ?α) prettify-symbols-alist)
             (push '("\\beta" . ?β) prettify-symbols-alist)
             (setq prettify-symbols-compose-predicate 
'texinfo-prettify-symbols-compose-p)
             (prettify-symbols-mode)))

So I have to add the following defun in prog-mode.el?

(defun texinfo-prettify-symbols-compose-p (start end _match)


I don't know what you're trying to do. If you're trying to do something just for yourself, just add the above lines in your .emacs file. If you want to improve texinfo-mode, the defun above should probably go into texinfo.el, with the "(setq prettify-symbols-compose-predicate 'texinfo-prettify-symbols-compose-p)" inside the "(define-derived-mode texinfo-mode ...".
