Re: custom clef characters

[Mats Bengtsson]

The easiest is probably to use the same trick as in the section
on Polymetric notation, in the manual. In other words, first
spend some time to make a \markup{...} command that
provides the symbol you want in the correct size, then
tell LilyPond to typeset the clef symbol just like any other
text (which includes general markups) and specify your
markup as the text, see the following example.

\version "2.10.0"
myClefSymbol = \markup{
 \override #'(font-name . "Times New Roman" ) \large "A"
}

\score{
\relative c'{
 \override Staff.Clef #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
 \override Staff.Clef #'text = #myClefSymbol

 c d e f | g a b c |
}
}
