A commentary on various interpretations of Haydn’s ornaments in general and the “turn” in particular can be read at:

"So what's the sanest course with regard to new articulations?"

From the perspective of contemporary music, the sanest course is to provide basic utilities for drawing arbitrarily complex symbols in specified locations, which Lilypond sort of does/doesn't have.

By the way: how is the relation to other music fonts?  If we invent a
new articulation, music fonts from other sources will not know about it,
or we won't know about what they have.  And even if we puzzle
articulations together from pieces, they won't fit together just the
same in other music fonts.

So what's the sanest course with regard to new articulations?  This is
not really related to this particular addition, but it generally makes
me wonder.
