You didn't say what version of LilyPond you use, neither what operating system or text editor you have.
In all recent versions, it should work to just insert the plain ß or directly in the .ly file. However, this requires that your text editor save the file using Latin1 encoding (also called ISO 8859-1). If you have LilyPond version 2.2.x or older, you may also use the LaTeX commands, just replace each backslash with a double backslash. Since the double quote " is also used to delimit strings, the \"s requires some extra care. First of all, you should enclose the full syllable in double quotes, than you should add an extra backslash both before the backslash and before the " like "thi\\\"s"
