When I emerge lilypond, it stops with this error: This is MetaPost, Version 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6) (INIMP) (/var/tmp/portage/media-sound/lilypond-2.11.50/work/lilypond-2.11.50/mf/mf2pt1. mp ! I can't find file `mfplain'. l.27 input mfplain ; Please type another input file name: I have to emerge texlive-metapost to resolve the problem. So the question is: Why texlive-metapost is not a dependency of lilypond (or texlive) if it's necessary? Reproducible: Always
Right, I think because I still have app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r6 installed which provides /usr/share/texmf/metapost/base/mfplain.mp.
I have exactly the same problem with all versions >=media-sound/lilypond-2.11.50 emerging dev-texlive/texlive-metapost soleves it.
Adding dev-texlive/texlive-metapost to dependencies solved it for me too...
"Or" in RDEPEND would be nice. || ( dev-texlive/texlive-metapost app-text/tetex ) or something. It seems that there has been a dep for virtual/tetex which has been commented out (virtual/ doesn't have tetex anymore) but replacement-dep hasn't been added. This bug applies for lilypond-2.11.56 (and lilypond-2.11.52, perhaps for lilypond-2.11.51) too.
Also for lilypond 2.11.58. This is from a fresh install so there were no old teTex packages laying around either. :-)

fixed in 2.11.63
What about lilypond-2.12.1? Can't use tetex and lilypond?
