If recent reports are true, that svg output from Lilypond is working well 
now, then this kind of thing should be no problem. Generate the svg from 
LP, then open it with Inkscape and "sculpt" away.
I found this - http://freesvg.texterity.com:90/  - to convert a pdf to svg 
which can then be manipulated in Inkscape also.
I have to admit - I tried it and it's not easy to get a staff to conform 
to a circle, for example. Maybe someone else can. My Inkscape skills are 
weak, though I love the software.
