This works great. I use Bembo now. I also edited titledefs.tex
so that the correct fontfamily, fontshapes and sizes are selected
when I run ly2dvi. It is all hardcoded (Q&D) at the moment, maybe
I will think about a more flexible selection later.
The only miror flaw is that the the text-remarks on top of the beams
(e.g. a,2^"scream") are still CM-font. How can I select this font?
Thanks a lot,
