Why do you have to fiddle with updmap at all? LilyPond (vers. 2.4)
explicitly specifies the map file when calling dvips, so I
cannot see any reason why it should be necessary to include
these fonts using updmap. The only thing that matters is that
dvips can find the map files, which it will do if they are
properly placed in the texmf tree and the filename database
has been updated.
