Thank you for your work! Unfortunately the package is missing two other
major changes in 2.24.0: the Scheme files (.scm) should be byte-
compiled for reasonable performance (which will depend on the
architecture, to some degree, so maybe merge lilypond and -data?) and
text fonts must be shipped separately. Please have a look here:

Ok, I'll keep this date in mind and see when a release would be
possible / make sense.
