A request for baroque ornaments like the attached image gained this  
response from Carl:

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.
