For what it's worth, Frescobaldi also has a "special characters" window you can spawn where you can insert them directly. It's a bit annoying to have to switch from keyboard to mouse to click them, but otherwise it works fine for direct input (how annoying it is probably depends on just how frequently you need accented characters).
I suppose it'd be also possible if you're wrapping your .ly file inside some latex-ly .tex file to use LaTeX's syntax for accented characters, but that's not something with which I have any real experience. Hope that helps. N.
