Fantastic thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for.

I am quite new to lilypond, so I'm interested to understand how that works.

I see you're defining a new function "lower-extension", which looks like it
modifies and passes through its arguments to another function
"note-name->markup". Am I close? There's something I don't understand, how
does it only affect the bass note argument?

Thanks,
Tom
