Re: Request for East Asian emphasis points

[Adam Griggs]

Hi Werner, Andrew, Aaron,

Yes, my intended use case is indeed lyrics, editorial footers and 
informational taglines. In the case of the attached .png, I'm using it 
to indicate which kana get stressed and, by omission, which kana to 
glide over. Pardon my poor editorial judgement: this is a WIP.

Quickly checking just now indicates that emphasis points came into use 
in Japanese texts during the Meiji era.

Aaron's solution works for me, so I'm rolling with that. Thank you all 
for your replies.

I'm having some issues with tied lyrics when there is \markup 
involved—\undertie might prove helpful—but that's a topic for another 
thread.
