new dynamic sign

[Siska Ádám]

Hello Everyone,


I'm trying to create a new dynamic sign for 'attacco impercettibile' 
(this can be found for example in scores of some spectralist composers, 
like Gérard Grisey). This sign is supposed to be something like a 
striked circle, like the character ɵ or ø character, and it means 
something like 'zero volume', so if it's at the beginning of a 
crescendo, you should start playing from absolute stillness, and if it's 
at the end of a decrescendo, you should make the decrescendo until total 
still. For this, I tried the following code:

zeroDyn = #(make-dynamic-script "ø")

This works, but the output looks quite awful, it would be better to use 
some other character font and/or make the character to be smaller. But 
if I change the "ø" to (for example) "\roman ø", I don't get the desired 
result.
How can I set the font type and/or size used to create the dynamic 
symbols with make-dynamic-script?

Thank you,
Adam
