Hi klose,

Welcome to lilypond. You can change pretty much every single thing in
lilypond, one way or another. It admits of vast flexibility - unparalleled
in fact.

Our colleague here Abraham Lee (tismist) has made some very fine and
eminently usable engraving fonts. You may care to check them out. It used
to be difficult to adapt lilypond to use different fonts, but that is in
the past and it is simple to drop these fonts in.

The point being, these fonts provide clefs and accidentals as well as
noteheads and so forth.

Apart from using supplied fonts, lilypond also allows custom definitions of
noteheads, which is what I use in my work. My noteheads have a very
specific shape and ellipticity that matches the handwriting of the composer
I work with, and this cannot be found in ready made fonts. I mention this
as an example of how customisable lilypond is in relation to visuals. As
has been mentioned, you can fashion your own clefs as you will, but that's
not entirely straight forward, as it requires internal knowledge of how
lilypond makes and uses fonts - but it can be learned and done.
