I do not recognize your problem. How are you using the Lilypond
fonts, do you use the standard lilypond-profile file to set 
environment variables or have you linked the Lilypond files 
to your texmf tree as described in the FAQ?

In particular, what is $MFINPUTS set to?

What does the command 'kpsewhich cmr8.tfm' return?

What command do you run when you get this printout, 
lilypond or ly2dvi?
