Hey Paul,

\lheel is what I had in mind, except it looks more like a "U," while I
am used to seeing something a bit flatter. I'm surprised there isn't
something for this as it's not so uncommon in jazz.

But, I might have found something that kind of works: instead of
^\lheel (^ ensures it is above the note), I am using ^"◡". After a
quick google search, I found out there is ascii code for the lower
half of a circle. I feel like this is a good, 90% solution.

Cheers,

Brian
