Great! Carl, feel free to open a merge request or to push new commits
onto mine.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. These diagrams appear to have been
wrong for a decade and you’re the first one to realize that; not only
were they wrong but they even made LilyPond crash, which is very very
bad. Therefore we should have an exhaustive list of diagrams
somewhere: first to test them all and make sure there are no other
mistakes (as this discussion has proven, there are); then to make sure
that future changes to LilyPond’s internal source code don’t
accidentally break anything.
Mike (the colleague of mine who implemented the diagrams in the first
place, a long time ago) has never played any woodwind instrument, and
neither have I; so if you (or Torsten) know some musicians that can
help, please do! (And by the way, there are very few "real
programmers" among LilyPond contributors and developers; I’m certainly
not one either, and neither was Mike when he wrote that stuff. So,
anyone’s welcome to help us!)
Cheers,
