I've just had a quick look and I think you are right, in fact it looks
like overriding the affix position isn't needed at all.
Look at this code:

(d-DirectivePut-chord-postfix "test" "\\trill")
(d-DirectivePut-note-graphic "test" "\nX\nDenemo\n22")
(d-DirectivePut-note-override "test" DENEMO_OVERRIDE_GRAPHIC)
(d-SetSaved #f)


the note directive supplies the glyph (an X from the denemo.ttf font in
this example) to replace the conventional notehead in the display, while
the chord directive supplies the \ictus or what you need to make
LilyPond typeset the same glyph.
