yes and no! With the help of one of the Lilypond gurus, Mats Bengtsson, I
got these mensural notation symbols added to the lilypond feta fonts in
order to use them for my modern edition of music by Thomas Ravenscroft. You
may download these fonts and the associated MusiXTeX macros as
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/music/scores/ravenscroft/common.zip . Have a look at the
Ravenscroft M-tx sources to see how the symbols may be used. The macros
also make diamond shaped mensural notation note shapes and the
corresponding rests available.
