I'd love to help! I'll see what I can do.
I'd love to use some other fonts than Emmentaler, but how is that accomplished with this program? I see you packaged Lilypond into the editor.
Hello,
after meditating about this, I concluded that there's no need to add a helper for embedding fonts with the editor into the installed LilyPond. In fact, the cleanest way is simply to have an user-accessible directory with the installed LilyPond and then copy fonts there.
Then, if for example you want to use (the excellent) Gonville font:
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/gonville/
... just copy the SVG files into the SHARE/lilypond/current/fonts/svg/ directory and then add
#(define fonts (set-global-fonts #:music "gonville" #:brace "gonville"))
...to your ly file.
Hope this helps!

Yes, this is lovely! I'm quite used to changing files in normal lilypond, but I didn't know how easy it was to do so in your editor. Thanks for the update!
