+@cindex international characters
+@cindex latin1
+
+LilyPond does not use the LaTeX font handling scheme for lyrics and text
+markups, so if you use characters in your lilypond-book
+documents that are not included in the standard US-ASCII character set,
+include @code{\usepackage[latin1]@{inputenc@}} in the file
+header but do not include @code{\usepackage[[T1]@{fontenc@}}. Character
+sets other than latin1 are not supported directly but may be handled by
+explicitly specifying the @code{font-name} property in LilyPond and
+using the corresponding LaTeX packages. Please consult the mailing list
+for more details.
