R\fermata: How to build a markup in C++?

[Malte Meyn]

Hi list,

I’m trying to get R\fermata to work as expected by new users. I thought 
that it would be easier to make a MultiMeasureRestText with a markup 
containing the fermata glyph instead of having something like 
MultiMeasureRestScript. For that I have to build such a markup. 
Currently, I’m able to get the correct glyph name (ufermata/dfermata and 
others for most articulations but not f.e. \staccato). But then I’d have 
to build the “\markup \musicglyph” part in C++. Is there a way to do that?

Are there any other ideas how the R\fermata thing could be done?

Attached you can find what I’ve tried as a patch file, below some 
LilyPond code for testing.

Cheers,
Malte
