To find out, follow the link at the bottom of the section on "Entering
Lyrics" to the program reference for LyricText. There, you will find a
list of the properties that are set by default. To see a full list of
all available properties, you have to follow the links at the bottom
of the page to the different interfaces. Since you want to change the
font, follow the link to the font-interface. Among others, you will find
a property called font-shape that can be set to italic. If you don't
know how to do the actual property setting, I recommend you to read the
subsections about the \override command.

This was the long answer, the short answer is to look through the
examples of commands in the section on "Entering Lyrics", which includes
exactly the setting you need.

Using Lilypond 2.5.20, Mac OS

I am setting a piece with alternate lyrics. I would like the alternate in italics. The archive appears to have one (old) message regarding this but the proxy filter at this location for whatever reason blocks the message. The Tips & Tricks, Regression Tests, and of course, the program manual have thus far not provided an answer.

I'd be grateful for your suggestion.

Stan
