PDFTeX apparently does merge subsetted fonts,
Which version?
Those versions having the \pdfincludedcopyfonts setting?
so I don't think we should need to include the complete fonts in order to get font merging. But

probably should work with coding vectors so that we can use identical font names, just sparsely populated.
ghostscript, called by lilypond to produce pdfs, needs three encoding vectors for the emmentaler glyphs, and writes three copies of the font to the pdf file. I don't see a way to avoid that.
There must be some workable solution for Asian fonts I should hope. I can't believe that some 10000 character font would be included 10000/256 times in a PDF file when thoroughly used. I don't have any workable experience myself. It's just a "this can't possibly be the whole truth" feeling. Sometimes it just overtaxes my imagination what kind of thing people are willing to put up with. But I sure hope this is not another such case. https://codereview.appspot.com/194090043/
