At the commandline, run this:

kpsewhich --var=TEXMFLOCAL

It will give you a directory, such as C:\texlive\texmf-local. On that path you will find \fonts\truetype\public This is where you put your fonts (you can use subfolders if you want to).

1. Locate your lualatex fonts folder (for example, C:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts\truetype\public
2. Place your font there (you can use a subfolder if you like)
3. Now you have to tell lualatex that they are available. Open your commandline and run this command:

     texhash

4. Don't forget that in your tex file, you have to use \usepackage{fontspec}
5. And, to actually call the font, do this within the \begin{document} section:

   \newfontface\MyFont{MyFont}
   %or, to use it in just one place
   \begin{center}\MyFont\huge{The Score Title}\end{center}

To update a font, you do the same thing you would if you want to add a font, except that you *first* have to erase lulatex's font cache, so you would do this:

luaotfload-tool --cache=erase
texhash

Running the luaotfload-tool --cache=erase command will erase the cache located at C:\texlive\2013\texmf-var\luatex-cache\. But don't worry, the next time you compile a tex file, lualatex will rebuid the cache automatically.
