Hi Mark,

[Welcome to the 'Pond!]

> I want to get the verbb text to show as italic.  

The easiest way is probably:

verbb = \lyricmode {
  \override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
  ut re mi fa sol la
}

Make sure your file is being saved with Unicode (UTF-8) encoding, and simply 
put the gamma (𝜸) in there directly.

Hope that helps!
