Since version 1.2.4, all the font symbols are available also
as TeX macros. Take a look at the file feta20.tex in
lilypond-1.2.x/mf/out/ or in /usr/local/share/lilypond/tex/
of wherever it's installed on your system.
I don't have Lilypond available here, but I think you should
be able to write "DS al \\fetacoda" or maybe
"DS al \\fetafont\\fetacoda" (the double backslashes since a
single backslash is used as escape character within strings,
just as in C and many other programming languages.
