Not really. Citing scm/output-lib.scm:

That is, lily should take a longa from neo-mensural font. The real
problem is the 'u' in 'noteheads.u-2': The parmesan font defines a
symmetric 'noteheads.s-2neomensural', but neither up/down specific heads.
I wonder why an upwards head is at all requested for the default note head
font. Maybe something has changed in the noteheads engraver which causes
this problem?

Hi,
Running 2.9.17-1 on Windows, I get the following error for c\longa:
warning: note head 'noteheads.u-2' not found.
I don't really know anything about longas, but I was just experimenting
with
different aspects of lily and this popped up...
c\breve works fine though.
Cheers,
Ralph
