Not familiar with it.  Will check it out and see how it goes -- thanks! :-)

Yup, sure.  How do I go about sending you the money?

Actually, I wonder if rather than special glyphs, it might be better to have a 
function like \pitchText which takes a Lilypond pitch and transforms it into an 
optimized textual form: so e.g. \pitchText{bf} or \pitchText{fs} or whatever.
