Hi Harm.

Not quite.  Attached is a mockup (c/o xfig) of what I have in mind:
a stemless notehead, to be placed on the staff according to its LP
pitch-name; and a filled hairpin for the duration, placed vertically
along with the head, but with its horizontal length calculated by
LilyPond from the score's note-value spec.

(Wouldn't that be nice?)
Cheers,
Pete
