Didn't you work with MicroABC? A quick search gave this page

I've done a bit with it. That link isn't MicroABC, it's a different tool for use with abcm2ps. But it'll likely be compatible with Lilypond as both use PostScript.

I think that koron and sori may not be in Unicode, which LilyPond uses for fonts. So some special implementation might be needed.

There'll be a code point in the font file. You can get it using FontForge (which I had to use for Sagittal because the Unicode mapping is wrong for some reason I may have been told about but forgot). Another thing Hudson Lacerda (the author of MicroABC) told me is that you can get PostScript code for a glyph from FontForge. That might be useful as some of the hacks in this thread have involved coding PostScript directly.

If you're designing a Unicode font there's a private use area for characters without an official code point.
