Re: special symbols

For the tempo marking with an arrow, a possibility is:

\version "2.19.17"

\relative c'' {

  c^\markup {

    \note #"4" #UP = 60

    \override #'(thickness . 3)

    \override #'(line-join-style . bevel)

    \raise #1

    \path #0.3 #'((moveto 0 0) (lineto 4 0) (closepath))

    \hspace #-1

    \raise #1

    \arrow-head #X #RIGHT ##t

  }

b a g

}

This avoids postscript and uses the native lilypond markup graphics commands. Hopefully self-explanatory.
