I seem to have fixed most (all?) of my font problems.  I now have another
problem, however.

In order to submit one of LilyPond's SVGs to e.g. the Wikimedia Commons, it
is necessary to convert all of its text into paths; that way, users need not
have LilyPond's fonts in order to view the image correctly.  Before
converting text into paths in Inkscape, you must make sure that none of the
text is contained within a group.  Therefore, I started to process my file
by selecting everything and issuing an Ungroup command.

When I did so, the staff lines disappeared!  Apparently every object in the
file is in a one-element group.  For some reason, ungrouping the staff lines
made them disappear—they were still present, just not visible.  I think
there may be an Inkscape bug at play here too, since "Select All" couldn't
find the lines, but on the LilyPond end... how can I get Lily to create a
sane, usable SVG file?  

Any help is greatly appreciated here.
