Probably because it has never been asked before.
Personally I have no clue of what you're talking about, maybe a drawing or
a picture would help.
Anyway, you can use :
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-wind-instruments
to resize custom or existent glyphs.

HTH,

Would this snippet help?

A start would be to look through the Lilypond Snippet Repository, where the
snippet I've linked is taken: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/  You'll find
solutions to a lot of common and not-so-common requests there.  I learned a
lot by skimming through everything, and studying the code that interested
me.

Note that only a subset of these snippets has made it into the official
documentation:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/index.html.

Hope that helps,
David

How to retrieve information?

[Luca Danieli]

Dear List,
I am wondering if anyone can suggest a sort of "methodology" to retrieve those 
information which are (for me) no easy to find online or in the web guide.
For example, I am right now looking for "open", "half-open" and "very open" 
embouchure for flute.I can find only the "open" symbol and probably now I will 
try to shrink and enlarge the symbol to realize what I want.
In general, have you got some suggestion, some methods you would like to share 
(for example some specific approach to orient yourself within the source code) 
to retrieve the information you search for and don't easily find on the web or 
to "create" solutions to the difficult task of writing unusual symbols and 
formatting styles?
