Paul and Marc -
My apologies for the late reply -- I was on vacation last week,
with no internet access. For the circumflex indicating a half
step, take a look at the Learning Manual and possibly the index,
and look for \markup.
For the bowing markers, I've seen H or Fr, T or P, M, LH, UH and
WH, for heel or frog, tip or point, middle, lower half, upper
half, and whole bow, respectively.
Hi,
Perhaps a touch off topic, but there's a brilliant pair of symbols for
'downbow over the entire compass of the bow' and 'upbow over the
entire compass of the bow' floating around contemporary scores now.
The 'full downbow' symbol is the usual squared-off staple (or capital
pi, perhaps) but with a 'foot' that extends to the right:

The 'full upbow' symbol is the usual V but with a superscripted
'shoulder' that extends, likewise, to the right:
_
\ /
\ /
A friend first pointed these out to me in scores by (Berlin-based)
Swiss composer Hanspeter Kyburz. They're immediately striking,
extremely useful, and deserve to be better known. (Though I think
neither exists, at least not yet, in Lily.)
Trevor.
