I can only say that when I tried to build the doc with xetex installed 
(and lmdodern not installed) I got this error in LilyDev/Debian:

   For xetex backend Debian package lmodern is needed


In Fedora the package is called texlive-lm.
This command returns a list of the installed files:

rpm -ql texlive-lm

I can only guess that these fonts are supposed to be available only to 
Texlive and not to the whole system?!?
