Alternatively, something like:
== snip
specialNote = {
\once \omit Stem
\once \omit Flag
\once \override NoteHead.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override NoteHead.text =
\markup
\concat {
% adjust these as needed
\with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0)
\translate-scaled #'(-0.5 . 0)
\hspace #-.25
% replace `noteheads.s1sol` with whatever you need[1]
\musicglyph #"noteheads.s1sol"
}
}
mus = {
<<
{ dis'16[
fis' b ais] }
\\
{ s16
\specialNote b16 s16 s16 }
>>
}
\score {
\mus
}
== snip
[1] find a full list of available glyphs in "ps/encodingdefs.ps". Idk
if there is a test that engraves all of those or not, so you may be on
your own in terms of actually finding what you need in there.
