If going the xelatex way there would be an elegant way through my lilyglyphs 
package. This makes LilyPond's notation symbols available to LateX.
So far it only uses the built-in Emmentaler  font but I'm interested in opening 
it up to alternative notation fonts. 
It's quite new that LilyPond supports alternative fonts but on 
fonts.openlilylib.org there already is a quite impressive range of fonts - 
including LilyJAZZ with an accompanying text font.

If enough people are interested I'd ve happy to give the package some new 
attention.

Anyway, the text font (.otf) can immediately be used on its own.
