You could say \\char214 which will just be forwarded to the TeX output. However, I recommend to insert the 8bit character directly into the file instead, since it enables Lilypond to calculated the correct width of each syllable when it determines the spacing between the notes.

If you want ASCII character 214, you just need a text editor that enables you to input that ASCII value as a character. In Emacs, for example, type CTRL-Q 3 2 6 RETURN (since 326 is octal for 214). If you have a German or nordic keyboard, you can also press Ö, since it has character code 214 in the Latin 1 encoding. If you have a Cyrillic keyboard, I'm sure you can just press the desired key directly unless your editor plays some funny games.
To set the font, you'll have to say something like: \property Lyrics . LyricText \override #'font-name = #"wncyr10"
Yes, I did that. I use keyboard USA/International here. Isn't there some string indicating (as in HTML code) to lily (or is it finally TeX that would have to do it?) that I want a specific character number such and so from the font?
Thanks for your help. arie

If I include a '!' in the lyrics, lilypond complains. I tried using typing "!", and '!' but none works. I need this feature to use the complete Cyrillic character set. Does anybody know how to include all ascii characters? Having to input the ascii numbering would do too for me.
I believe you want \\!
Thanks for answering Graham, I made a mistake, I put words={
} "!"
With the "!" within the brackets it works :/ But still I'm afraid that this is not the solution. When I do
WordsFouFO = \lyrics {"#"} it says:
ly2dvi:error: LaTeX failed on the output file. ly2dvi:error: The error log is as follows: ! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in restricted horizontal mode. <argument> ...utscale \magfontOLYUomMMBo \hbox {## } With \lyrics{\\#} it says: Parsing...Backtrace: 0* } ERROR: In expression }: ERROR: Unbound variable: }
etc...
Isn't there a method to tell that I want ascii character 214 from font wncyr10 for instance? And does one know where I can get the Cyrillic R, mirrorred about its vertical axis, and this character which resembles most the 'X', but with some more small lines? (sorry, I don't know the name of it).
thanks, arie
