Re: Bend

[Thomas Richter]

I guess what you are looking for is the brassBend glyph defined in SMuFL compliant fonts like Bravura or Ekmelos with codepoint U+E5E3.  And it is one of the few musical symbols which is also defined in Unicode with codepoint U+1D189.

%%%%

\version "2.24.0"

#(define-markup-command (brassBend layout props) ()
  #:properties ((font-size 0))
  (interpret-markup layout
    (cons
      `((font-name . "Ekmelos")
        (font-size . ,(+ font-size 5)))
      props)
    (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #xE5E3)))

{ c'' ^ \markup \brassBend }
