You'll need to have a system capable of building lilypond. If you're not on
some GNU/Linux distro you'll probably want to run LilyBuntu in a virtual
machine. You can get information on that in the Contributors Guide for
version 2.13.
Your glyphs will be created in metafont. I would expect your glyphs to be
created in the file mf/feta-accidentals.mf.
You should read the README file in mf/ for more information on the fonts.
In order to have your new glyphs added to the font, you'll probably need to
do
rm mf/out/* && make
You can read more about metafont by Googling for the metafont book.
Hope this helps,
Carl
