Karol, thanks for the pointers. I have tried the hacks I found there, 
but one produced a wrong result, the second a fatal error, and the third 
no effect at all. I guess that is due to compatibility issues, because 
the hacks seem to be several years old, and then, I have zero knowledge 
of the Scheme stuff, so I can't do much if dumb copy and paste doesn't work.
It strikes me that Lilypond, which can do the most extravagant things 
99% of us have never even heard of, doesn't have such a simple and 
fairly common symbol. Even though I can do without it right now, it 
would be nice to have. Maybe the developers can fill this gap?
Best,
Thomas
