Re: Font changing

[Mats Bengtsson]

The latexpackages field is a bit primitive, since you cannot
attach options to a specific package. Fortunately, for [T1]{fontenc},
there's a workaround, namely to use
  latexpackages = "t1enc"
which gives the same result and doesn't require any option.
Another alternative is to put but the \usepackage and the
command definition in a separate .tex file and specify its name
using latexheaders.

I'm not sure how you plan to use the \changefont command. If you want
to use it within lyrics, for example, you would have to add it for
every single syllable. Apart from being extremely tedious to type in,
it would ruin LilyPond's ability to calculate the size of each syllable.
A better solution, then, is described in
