Hi Andrew,
Interesting question.
I'm not familiar with Purcell's work but what I found on IMSLP was that
this shake is used as (e.g.) a trill.
So how about :
\version "2.19.45"
purcell-shake-glyph =
\markup\stencil
#(make-path-stencil
'(M -0.20 0.05 L 1.55 0.51 M -0.31 0.43 L 1.45 0.90)
0.17 1 1 #f)
shake =
#(define-event-function () ()
#{
-\tweak stencil #(lambda (grob)(grob-interpret-markup grob
purcell-shake-glyph))
\trill #})
%% Test:
{
a'\shake
}
Cheers,
Pierre
