Ah, but if you do what i propose, you enable the user to choose easily
how he wants to align the mark. He can either align it to the bottom
edge, or to the "optical center". If you keep the "vertical
situation" as is, the user will be able to easily align to the bottom
only.
What i suggest is similar to what we have in breve notehead case, only
in different axis: we have the ability to align breve note both to its
very left edge, and its reference point (which is on the left edge of
the oval, i.e. without the lines):
{ c''_\markup { \musicglyph #"noteheads.sM1double" } }
{ \override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
c''_\markup { \musicglyph #"noteheads.sM1double" } }
Does this convince you?
cheers,
Janek
