I was searching how to do the same thing and found this thread.
I know this is an old post, but following the example of Lilypond
documentation for using numbers instead of note names, I created the
following snippet to show custom note names:
#(define Note_name_engraver_pt
(make-engraver
(acknowledgers
((note-head-interface engraver grob source-engraver)
(let* ((context (ly:translator-context engraver))
(note-names
(vector '"dó" '"ré" '"mi" '"fá" '"sol" '"lá" '"si")))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'note-names note-names))))))
Since I am not a programmer , certainly there is a better way to do that,
but at least it works for me. Kept here for reference
