The name \musicglyph itself implies that *any* music glyph can be
accessed, despite of the restriction mentioned in the info pages.
Perhaps some links like

  `\musicglyph' GLYPH-NAME (string)
     This is converted to a musical symbol, e.g. `\musicglyph
     #"accidentals-0"' will select the natural sign from the music
     font.  See *Note The Feta font: (lilypond/lilypond)The Feta
     font. for a complete listing of the possible glyphs.

     See the commands \number, \dynamic, ... also for other musical
     symbols used in lilypond.

could help to avoid my misunderstanding.  BTW, is there any technical
reason why \musicglyph can't handle other fonts?  In case there is, I
suggest that \musicglyph emits a warning -- currently, a
non-accessible glyph is silently ignored.

Anyway, it would be very nice to see those fonts somewhere.
Currently, I'm using fontforge to directly view the PFA files which is
not the optimal solution, isn't it?
