Thanks all for the input on my ess-tset troubles. Here is my solution:
\usepackage[german]{babel}
This allows easy input of umlauted vowel with \"x (where x is a vowel).
It produces an ess-tset with \"s in \markup{texts}
Since \"s produces an s-umlaut in lyrics I've added these lines to the
script I use to process my *.lytex file:
for file in *.tex
do
sed -i 's|\\"s|"s|g' *.tex;
done
The \"s in \markup{texts} are already converted to "s by lilypond-book
so they are not affected.
In lyrics I make sure to escape all of the " with \ as it still works
that way and preserves the indenting in emacs.
Why I didn't use a different solution:
Inputting an ess-tset directly is inconvenient (Alt-Gr + s just makes
's' for me, so it's cut/paste) and with [german] produces exactly
nothing.
In lyrics mode I can escape the " or not (but I must use it with 's').
However, if I leave out the \ then the auto indenting stops working at
that point in the file. If I use the escape character I retain the
indenting but some of the text afterwards gets the wrong color. I've
decided to tolerate the wrong colors.
This leaves me with a consistent input syntax for the German characters
in both text markup and lyrics.
As for the hyphenation:
> According to "Duden Rechtschreibung 1961 an 1998"):
>
> "hei - ßen"
I finally thought to actually look in the score I'm working from and it
matches this, so I'll do it this way. I'm also working from a part and
I have to remind myself that the ultimate authority is, of course, the
score.
