Typesetting a Bach Ornament; Sarabande, French Suite 5

I'm having trouble typesetting an ornament in the fifth measure of the Sarabande from the E-flat French Suite. An image can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/s/hhgmne640fs1twb/ornament.jpg?dl=0 The ornament in question is the two in-staff markings on the dotted-quarter A.

Unfortunately, I don't know the edition (I only have a photocopy of this movement, and it's not on IMSLP). Nor have I even been able to track down exactly what this ornament is. The closest I've found is the Nachschlag at http://www.iment.com/maida/familytree/henry/music/bachnotation.htm#passinga (The double-slur-like figure from Invention 3 at the bottom of that section is similar to what appears in the Henle version of the Sarabande.)

I want to mimic the given edition as closely as possible; could anyone help me out with typesetting this? I hate to ask, because it will look like I've put forth zero effort; but it's just because I legitimately have no clue where to begin.

http://lilypondblog.org/2013/08/adding-ornamentations-to-note-heads-part-1/ at Scores of Beauty looked promising, but I can't even manage to get that to compile; I'm guessing something in LilyPond has happened since that was published that prevents it from working in my 2.19.40.

I've attached a laughably barren MWE; it'll save about 4 seconds.
