No, this is the right place, for now.

Good.

It seems that there's a problem with tetex's configuration (.map
files?), but I'm not sure and can't test right now.

Doesn't ring a bell, if noone knows I'll do some tests next week.

Please be sure to have tetex-base and tetex-extra installed, so that
you have a full tetex installation.  The bluesky fonts are in the
tetex-extra package.

If it doesn't work, you may try to run updmap after installation, or
invoke dvips by hand, adding -u psfonts.map:

    dvips  -ta4  -u lilypond.map -u psfonts.map -oheader.ps header.dvi

Good luck,    
Jan.
