First of all, the Linux Mint distro does not have the lilyglyphs package
in its repository at the moment. I sent an e-mail to the developers of
Linux Mint as my wish of entering this package. I hope that we can see
it in the next release of Linux Mint.

I'm not really sure if that's the right approach. lilyglyphs is a "LaTeX package" and not a "Linux package", so it can be part of a LaTeX distribution, but not directly of a Linux distribution.

lilyglyphs is available on debian inside the texlive-music package:

$ aptitude show texlive-music | grep lilyglyphs

 lilyglyphs -- Access lilypond fragments and glyphs, in LaTeX.

Not on Ubuntu, though (the OP is running Mint 16, which is based on Ubuntu):
