You will find LilyPond's flat and sharp glyphs listed in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font


But LilyPond also provides markup commands for accidentals,
listed in the Notation Reference A.10.4 and also
reachable via the command index in Appendix D
e.g. the index entry for \flat takes you to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/music#index-_005cflat-1


So instead of (make-text-markup "♭") use (make-flat-markup)
and readjust the sizing.
