Special noteheads for lip-pizzicato and tongue-ram?

[Trevor Bača]

I'm looking for two special noteheads:

1. An (open) accent-shaped notehead with both up-stems and down-stems
centered horizontally on the glyph

2. A solid, downward-pointing equilateral triangle notehead, again
with both up-stems and down-stems centered horizontally on the glyph

I'd like to get hold of the first symbol for lip-pizzicati on the
flute and the second for tongue-rams, also on the flute.

(If the descriptions confuse rather than help, then I can scan some
small bits of actual music. Ferneyhough's "Cassandra's Dream Song"
(1970) and Yuasa's "Terms of Temporal Detailing" (1991) have good
examples of the first symbol; the second symbol is Sciarrino's usual
notation for tongue-rams. Good explanations -- with notation examples
-- appear in Carin Levine's "The Techniques of Flute Playing / Die
Spieltechnik der Flöte" (2002, Bärenreiter-Verlag; two volumes), which
is a great source of information for absolutely everything about the
flutes.)

8.4.5 "Special noteheads" mentions neither shape, but I wanted to make
sure before requesting the feature.

The upward-pointing triangle notehead given in 8.5.4 "Shape note
heads" would work for #2 if I could get it reflected about the y-axis
(ie, downward-pointing instead of upward-pointing).

So is there a secret accent-shaped notehead sitting around somewhere?
Or a downward-pointing solid triangle notehead?

Also, if any other composers out there are happily using other
notations for either lip-pizz or tongue-ram in Lily, I'd be interested
in hearing about those solutions, too.
