As for the naming: it started with Feta, then there was font for old notation, which we named after old cheese (parmesan), then we created OTF that contained both and the alfabet, so it was named after a big cheese.
This probably does not make sense to explain in the manual. I would stick with the notion that Lily has a custom music font. Poeple only need to know it is called emmentaler and is an OTF font when they need to access it outside lilypond.
