New issue 1408 by v.villenave: Enhancement: alternate ancient prall notation
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1408
This glyph has been spotted by Swiss user Bernard Meylan on the -fr list:
it seems that it was commonly used in ancient French editions to indicate
some kind of prall ornaments.
Unlike the scripts we use, it wasn't printed above or below the staff but
on the left side of the note, always between staff lines (much like
augmentation dots, except on the other side). As a result, I'm afraid a
dedicated engraver would be required.
Please have a look at the attached examples, taken from a Bernier cantata
printed under Louis XIV.
Or course, workarounds exist:

However, it would be nicer to have this natively in LilyPond (spacing-wise,
etc.).
