Subject: how to create baroque ornaments

How can I create ornaments like those in the attached example?

I tried \markup with creating a path, however, this is always placed
outside the staff. The desired ornament should always appear at a fixed
distance to the note head (similar to accidentials, but after the note
head).

Best regards,

Giso

The most straightforward way to do this will be to add the ornaments to the
font and to make them articulations.  Then the properties can be
appropriately set.  This would require changes to the font, so it's not
trivial.  That's why I've forwarded this request to bug-lilypond, where it
can become an enhancement request.

It looks like the current script interface is pretty hard-coded around
getting glyphs from the feta font.

You may be able to adjust the position of a markup to get what you want, but
I think it will be quite difficult.

I'd be happy to give you some advice about adding the glyphs to the feta
font if you're interested in doing it.

HTH,

Carl
