As has already been pointed out, LilyPond doesn't have any
direct links to TeX anymore. Of course, it still be possible to
use the fonts in a TeX documents, but you will have to do much
more work yourself. A full list of the symbols available in the
font is included in an appendix of the manual.

However, for your specific needs I hope you have noticed that
you now can specify any staff size (not just the fixed 11pt, 16pt,
20pt, ... that were available in old LilyPond). Also, you can specify
the line width exactly, so it should be easy to do what you need
in LilyPond.
