Thanks for looking into this - perhaps this explains why such a large
triangle is used for the major 7th, it looks unusual. Perhaps the
original intent was for something smaller but it got altered by the
baseline-skip factor not being what the designer had in mind.
I have realized that I can use the same facilities for creating custom
ornaments (running inkscape to generate an eps file) for creating
customized chord symbols, so I won't need to do more \markup work for
this.
Thank you once again.
