Like i described in my previous email - with a dedicated command:

straightBreathe = {
  \override BreathingSign #'text = \markup {\musicglyph
#"scripts.caesura.straight"}
  \breathe
}

or have just the override inside the variable, like a style setting:

straightBreathe = {
  \override BreathingSign #'text = \markup {\musicglyph
#"scripts.caesura.straight"}
}

This way, if we ever change the name of the glyph or something like
that, we would just redefine this command and everything will /just
work/ - without convert-ly at all.

cheers,
