Please always cc the list.

Well, what's wrong?

You need to do such definitions outside of the music at toplevel
niveau and call it _in_ music, i.e.
  myDef = ...
  { \myDef ... }

If you want some text (i.e. \markup) replacing a stencil, do
  \override NoteHead.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
  \override NoteHead.text = \markup ...
As explained here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/modifying-stencils

\musicglyph was misspelled.

This works:

MyNoteHeads = {
  \override NoteHead.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
  \override NoteHead.text = \markup \musicglyph "timesig.neomensural94"
}

\new Staff \relative { \MyNoteHeads a'4 g f e | fis gis a2 }


NB The above explanations are simplified, disregarding many other
possibilities and cases.
