It works, in fact I have already done that [1] (after downloading the files, 
change the names to what is listed on the page), but it has not been integrated 
into LilyPond.

LilyPond does not have operators: ♯ and ♭ are a part of note names. When having 
microtonal accidentals, there becomes too may names to write them all out. But 
it is possible to add more languages, would LilyPond get that.
