Dear Joseph,
This notation is explain in detail in a paper that is part of the font
distribution itself at
http://music.calarts.edu/~msabat/ms/pdfs/HE-font-2009.zip
Several composers whose work is listed at http://plainsound.org
actively use this notation, including for large-scale orchestral music
(!), e.g.,
http://www.plainsound.org/pdfs/sinfonie.pdf
http://www.plainsound.org/music/sinfonie.m3u
It might be fun to listen to a retuning of Johann Sebastian Bach's
RICERCAR (Musikalisches Opfer 1) while reading the notation (it is
great and crazy :)

Anyway, if you have further questions don't hesitate to ask.
Best
Torsten
PS: The code I just send it is already pretty much cleaned up if you
want to use it for a doc snippet.

Thank you very very much for your help! The output is now almost
perfect as you can see see in the two examples below. The much
improved spacing of the first example is solely due to the code you
suggested.
Dear Torsten,
I'm really pleased to see your work on this as right now I'm working
on
extending the Lilypond docs' content on notating contemporary music --
one of the topics I'm about to start writing up is microtonal
notation.
I'm not at all familiar with this notation or its logic or history, so
it would be great if you would consider either writing some
documentation yourself or exchanging a few emails to help me write up
appropriate info on this.
Best wishes,
-- Joe
