1. you really need to check your font family names in gnome-font-viewer or
fontforge as explained in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy
You'd see that "centuryschl" is actually "Century Schoolbook L", so the
corresponding subpackage should be

lilypond-century-schoolbook-l-fonts (didn't check the others, please do so)

2. your font subpackages should require %{name}-fonts-common and not %{name} so
the fonts can be installed without dragging the app in

3. I doubt providing lilypond-fonts <= 2.12.1-1 is of any use; yum only needs
the obsoletes for a working upgrade path, and no other package will have deps
on lilypond-fonts, no?

4. The font package descriptions do not tell users a lot about the fonts, but I
guess this is a minor point for you

5. There does not seem to be any obvious typo in the upgrade path rules, of
course the proof is in the pudding, do test it your side (install the f10 rpm,
put your new rpms in a local dir with a createrepo, point yum to it and see
what happens)
