Pierre,

I wrote a music function for vibrato that temporarly overrides the trill
spanner to display a sine wave over top of the music; you can specify
the frequency and give it a list of amplitudes to show an increase or
decrease in vibrato speed.

https://raw.github.com/mwitmer/LyUtil/master/ly/expressive_markings/vibrato.ly

One nice feature to have that I haven't added yet would be variable
frequency.

I've used in in a couple of pieces and performers interpreted it just
fine with minimal explanation.
