Fwd: Replace dot symbol?

[David Stephen Grant]

Paul, this certainly cleans things up! Thank you.

A minor follow up question - in this code the cross notehead "dot" glyph is being printed and offset through markup - would it be possible to replace the symbol directly (\once \override Dots #'stencil = #??????), ensuring that the new glyph would be printed in the exact same position?

Hello, the next step would be to put your solution in a music function as
shown below.  Then you would just add \crs (or whatever you called your
fuction) before any dotted note you wanted to make a "crossed" note.  Pretty
close to your ideal scenario, but not all the way.

HTH,

\version "2.18.0"

crs =
#(define-music-function
  (parser location note)
  (ly:music?)
  #{
    \once \override Dots #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
    \once \override Dots #'text = \markup {
      \halign #-2
      \abs-fontsize #6
      \musicglyph #"noteheads.s2cross"
    }
    \scaleDurations 5/6 { #note }
  #})

\relative c' {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      c4 c16 a a8 a2 a1
    }

    \new Staff {
      \crs c4.
      a16
      a8 a2 a1
    }

    \new Staff {
      c4.
      a8 a2 a1
    }
  >>
}
