Burt, Thanks for your ideas about my question. I don't have the "ae" package on my system, but I can understand what you are saying. I can see where this would work for the ae fonts, because the default cm fonts already work to get the correct characters with T1 encoding. The problem comes in when the fonts are changed to something non-standard, like helvetica and zapfhumanist.
You also suggested to put usepackage in my lilypond source. I added latexpackages = "fontenc" to my header in my .ly file, but that didn't work either. I'll just keep experimenting as I get time.
