Re: scripts-caesura - glyph not quite right

[Mats Bengtsson]

Just to avoid any risk of confusion, I hope that you have seen
the caesura already available in LilyPond:

\override BreathingSign  #'text =
                 #(make-musicglyph-markup "scripts-caesura")
        es8[ d] \breathe  es[ f g f] |

This is taken from the example breathing-sign.ly in the Regression Tests
document.
