To add to this:

Near as I can tell, the default font for serif text is TeX Gyre Schola.  
I suppose New Century Schoolbook (the font referenced in the subject 
line) could be a valid fallback font, but TeX Gyre Schola should be 
included in a valid LilyPond installation:

/**/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/fonts/otf

Have you tried deleting LilyPond's font cache and letting it rebuild?
