Try:

\property Voice.NoteHead \override #'style = #'mensural
\property Voice.NoteHead \override #'font-family = #'ancient

The 'baroque' style seems to be broken due to the fact that it intermixes
font characters from the feta font (whole, quarter, eighth, ...) with
characters from the parmesan font (brevis, longa, maxima), see function
find-notehead-symbol in scm/output-lib.scm.  This is yet another problem
arising from the recent font split.  To work around this, the user
currently all the time has to switch #'font-family between #'ancient (for
brevis, longa, maxima) and #'music (for all other durations).

This is yet another good reason for introducing a 16-bit font character
lookup table, as I recently proposed.  But this is probably unlikely to be
introduced before 1.7, since it requires major changes to many parts of
lily.
