Yes… but if they were both syntactic sugar in some "black box" (e.g., the 
codebase), I'd definitely prefer the first approach since it seems the least 
hacky.

Perhaps even more "correct" — in terms of what’s being manipulated or not — 
would be to use a text-centred spanner with a fermata as the text. 
Unfortunately, David’s code is much heavier (in terms of lines of code) because 
it does so much more than just centre a fermata over a tremolo… but if the 
text-centred-spanner were already part of the base Lily code, that's probably 
the method I would end up using to handle this situation.

Cheers,
Kieren.
