You've found the right place to post this ;)

The README of the lilypond.SlackBuild lists fontforge and mftrace as 
dependencies. Maybe these two are missing

the missing apps probably refer to mftrace (just the 'mf' which makes me 
guess)

lilypond is an optional dependency for rosegarden. If you won't need it, 
there's no need to compile it now. If you notice later that you do need it, 
you can add it later too, as it's only a runtime dependency and requires no 
recompilation of rosegarden.
