So the mgd in the mail address is the same mgd who mentioned problems 
with the infinality-bundle on aur/lilypond-devel? Well, guess what 
resolved my problems... (Turned up as first hit after I had the correct 
idea, and searched for "Lilypond onfinality".)

Confirmed by a two-minute test without recompiling anything (I use 
bohoomils repo for infinality, not the aur package). Could you do me a 
favor and double-check whether the skylines change if you replace 
{cairo,fontconfig,freetype2} by 
{cairo,fontconfig,freetype2}-infinality-ultimate (possibly along with 
the lib32- variants)?
No hurry, though, I'll have to find time to investigate more, and 
whether the configuration can be changed to leave Lily's music fonts 
alone...
