I'm struggling with my stuff right now, so I don't want to jump into this
for real.
I would imagine that in notation-appendices.itely you'd have a series of
elements like:
@subsection Shaped Notes
@lilypond
\include font-table.ly
#(display-font-table 'shape-notes)
@end lilypond
@subsection Ancient Notes
@lilypond
\include font-table.ly
#(display-font-table 'ancient-notes)
@end lilypond

I agree that the latter would be better, but I think it's so much better
to do texinfo, that it's not worth messing with.
