Can't you just a modal key signature instead of a tonal one?
You're describing the Dorian mode, after all. If the tonic is
G, then tell Lilypond the key is D minor and you should be all
set.
Even better:
\key g \dorian
How would that affect the key signature that shows at the beginning of
each line?
How about a \sacredHarpKey that does the correct mapping etc?
In Sacred Harp music, the \sacredHarpHeads depends on the key you are
in. Using Dorian would mess that up.
The way the different note-heads are used needs its own solution.
\dorian doesn't appear to be it.
I plead total ignorance of Sacred Harp notation, but Dorian mode
is exactly what you describe, a minor mode with raised 6th scale
degree. If you say "\key g \dorian", then the key signature will
have one flat in it, and the scale degrees should all be correct:
g (1st) a (2nd), and so forth. It seems like this should do what
you want.
