Two years later, and I still haven't given up on getting Lilypond to typeset twinline. I believe I now know enough Metafont to edit feta-bolletjes.mf (I believe it's now something like feta-noteheads.mf) to add the noteheads we need.
What other steps do I need to take to make the noteheads usable? It seems the build system isn't smart enough to rebuild the font files for you automatically; that has to be manually triggered manually somehow... Anything else? I believe my working copy is based on 2.11.45 with Kevin Dalley's patches.
