Thanks for adding this to the snippets. Maybe I'll post a better 
explanation later. Anyway, wouldn't it be better to add this to the font?
For example, if I have understood this correctly, your snippet can't 
scale the font-size according to global-staff-size at this moment. Also 
it would be nice if LilyPond could determine the right position (above 
or under the staff) automatically, like it does with other articulation 
scripts.
Another point is the horizontal position: If the line is placed above 
the stem, it seems better to me to have both in one horizontal position 
(not centered above the NoteHead), though I can't recognize any clear 
conventions for it up to now.

Regards,
Michael
