OK, I will do as described.

Right, and that's what we need to avoid.  These fonts have (as you
noted elsewhere) varied between Lilypond versions, so if the wrong
version is picked up, there's a risk that the notation editor will
work incorrectly (or at least not look quite right) but the packager
might not notice.  Similarly, it would be a real mistake for any other
program to pick up Rosegarden's builds of these fonts when it wanted
the current Lilypond versions.

They are unmodified old versions.  I haven't checked the current state
of Lilypond's fonts for a while now.  It's not that we particularly
want to stick with older versions or avoid newer ones, simply that
different builds tend to have idiosyncracies that are more visible at
small pixel sizes and we have to some extent tuned to the fonts we
have (and if we updated, we'd simply be tuning for an equally specific
but newer version).

I'm less paranoid about this than I used to be, partly because the way
we address fonts in Thorn has changed from 1.7.x and is now less
subject to weird variations, and partly because we haven't done much
work on tuning the details of layout for Thorn yet anyway.  But it
would still take some significant work and QA to change this.
