It `normalizes' the `@' character, so it no longer is of type
`letter'. I also wonder why it's here. Additionally, it should be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to make TeX stop parsing after the `2'.

The idea is that you need sometimes need special environments to make
the lyrics work correctly. For example, you have to enter a CJK
environment for Chinese. \preLilyPondExample and \postLilyPondExample
should be global hooks (this is, setting them up just once for all
lilypond snippets), not local ones.
