Hi Arnold,

thanks for your hints!

MeanwhileI found a third solution.  It's somewhat dirty but it does the 
(visual) job without me having to define new note names.  So in case someone 
runs into the same problem: 

\version "2.17.29"
sharpdoublesharp = {
  \once \override Accidental.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
  \once \override Accidental.text = \markup {
    \concat {
    \musicglyph #"accidentals.sharp"
    \musicglyph #"accidentals.doublesharp"
    }
  }
  \once \override Staff.AccidentalPlacement #'right-padding = #1.25
}
{
\sharpdoublesharp
cisis'
}

cheers
