Re: how offsets and alignment works: an explanation

[Wim van Dommelen]

It of course depends on how large you want the dot and what other  
flexibility you want/need. But with a regular '.' (or any character- 
string) you could easily do this without special function code needed:

\version "2.16.0"

dotcolor = #red
smalldotmark = \markup{\bold \with-color \dotcolor "." }
largedotmark = \markup{\scale #'(5 . 5) \bold \with-color \dotcolor  
"." }

{
    c'1^\smalldotmark
    c''^\largedotmark
}

Regards,
Wim.
