Well, yes and no. If you plan to add something to LilyPond's fonts,
designing with FontForge might work, but a direct translation of the
outlines to Metafont will most probably fail: You must add some
`metaness' to the MF stuff
Very helpful. Thanks you, everyone.
I think the more adequate way would be FontForge -> Metafont then.
Mark: I will take a look in your repo, thanks!

I'm thinking of creating a font for contemporary music with the most
commonly used symbols.
I miss a lot of specific symbols and I'm sure a lot of LilyPond users do too.
I know that there are some sources for this purpose, and find them very useful.
But most are bloated with not very useful symbol
