Developers/hackers, here's something to improve on. The best alternative is to add support for these jazz articulations in the font and in some appropriate engraver. A quicker fix (?) might be to translate my hacky solution into a Scheme function that can be applied on the note. I used a trick, namely to fool Lilypond into drawing the postscript code as a replacement for an ordinary dot of a dotted note. Of course, it doesn't work of you want a fall or raise on a note that's dotted from the beginning. Anyway, this is hopefully better than nothing and it avoids the extra-offset settings that most others have used when trying to place some arbitrary object close to a note. Also, it should reserve the necessary horizontal space. It should be possible to override horizontally placed fingering instructions instead of dots to get a solution that works with dotted notes as well. I don't know what the bend is supposed to look like, but it's probably easy to do a similar macro for that as well. \version "2.2.0" makefall = { \once \override Dots #'print-function = #Text_item::print \once \override Dots #'X-extent = #'(-.5 . 2)\once \override Dots #'text = #"\\embeddedps{0.2 setlinewidth -0.2 -0.2 moveto 0.5 -0.2 1.2 -1 1.2 -2 rcurveto stroke}"
} makeraise = { \once \override Staff.DotColumn #'direction = #left \once \override Dots #'print-function = #Text_item::print \once \override Dots #'X-extent = #'(-2 . 0.5) % \once \override Dots #'extra-offset = #'(-.5 . 0)\once \override Dots #'text = #"\\embeddedps{0.2 setlinewidth 0.2 -0.2 moveto 0 -1 -0.7 -1.8 -1.2 -2 rcurveto stroke}"
} makefallz = { \once \override Dots #'print-function = #Text_item::print \once \override Dots #'X-extent = #'(-.5 . 2)\once \override Dots #'text = #"\\embeddedps{0.1 setlinewidth -0.4 -0.2 moveto 1 1 5 { 0.7 0.1
rlineto -0.5 -0.5 rlineto } for stroke}" } makeraisez = { \once \override Staff.DotColumn #'direction = #left \once \override Dots #'print-function = #Text_item::print \once \override Dots #'X-extent = #'(-2 . 0.5) % \once \override Dots #'extra-offset = #'(-.5 . 0)\once \override Dots #'text = #"\\embeddedps{0.1 setlinewidth 0.4 -0.2 moveto 1 1 5 { -0.7 0.1 rlineto 0.5 -0.5 rlineto } for stroke}"

I realize this application is written for the person scoring classical music, but there are a lot of people using it for more modern music as well. There's got to be a way to add modern articulations with writing entire sections of new code in every piece we transcribe/write. That just doesn't make sense. How hard could it be to just add the articulations to the feta font? Seems that would be most logical thing to do. Regards, ChipOnce again, thanks. I have almost a working test document. The desired articulations appear on the printed page but not in the correct positions. I can probably fix that by tweaking the numbers, I just have to find the doc that explains what each number means. Anyway, here is the results of running convert-ly and then running the interpreter.
