Thanks Silvain,
As I mentioned previously on the list my background is maths and I
understand Beziers, and I have implemented very compact code to do this.
I appreciate your help in any case. Actaully, the main basis for the
original post was to query what approach Lilypond takes.

You can draw a quasi perfect circle with a Bezier curve (cubic) with 4 main
points.
The optimal distance between main and secondary control points is
0.5517847391957151 * radius
(you do not need as many decimal places...!)
(optimal value calculated with wxMaxima and checked with Inkscape)

There are a whole lot of custom noteheads I need that are based on
circles with all sorts of additions like dots and things for a
contemporary modernist work. Very special case, but they may end up
being useful for others when I finish. I'll see if draw-circle can fit

All my other custom noteheads use curveto heavily. I was wondering if I
could scrimp time by using an arc command. I'm trying to avoid raw
postscript as I think that obviates the ability to output SVG - not that
I use it but others do,
Thanks all!

As to the _real_ question (XY? ;-) ), I am needing to do custom circular
noteheads, also with bits and bobs such as middle dots and so on and I
was not able to find an arc operator in the markup path commands, so one
needs to user curveto, which is a Bezier operator. Is that right?

Thanks all,
Comments much appreciated, but I know all that, as my background is
maths. I was just wanting to see how Lilypond does it.
And of course after I posted about oldish pages I recall of course that
you have to do circles with Beziers in fonts, as the arc operator is not
available
Both Postscript and SVG have a built-in arc function capable of drawing an arc (or an
entire circle).
Bézier 2-D curves can approximate a circle, but cannot create a mathematical exact circle
(although an approximation using 4 points is so precise that it is practically
indistinguishable from

Simple use of 360 degree arc. Answers what I wanted to know.
OK. Out of curiosity, what was the context?
There's a lot of oldish webpages with complex Bezier curve
constructions for circles.
Those must be approximate construction
Ah yes it is in the postscript area of the source code.

The 4 is big enough to ensure that all the vertical extents do fit,
but (because of this) they all fit loosely.
This looseness means that to decide where to position a circle
The following is wobbly, likely because of different vertical extends of
the strings. But the vertical extent should fit in the circles
necessitated by the horizontal extent.
Can anybody tell me what to do to keep the circles from wobbling?

Walter,
The suggestion
a2^\markup {"$\\!\\!$\\textbf{\\textcircled{\\small{1}}}"}
gives me just the circle, with no number on my 2.4.2 (cygwin) also, but if I
add $'s around the number, as below, it works OK.
