Browse through http://lilypond.org/stable/input/test/out-www/test.html
and http://lilypond.org/stable/input/regression/out-www/regression.html
to get some ideas. One possibility would be to find the arrow in
some (La)TeX font and do something like c^"$\\searrow$. Of course, 
you have to adjust the position of the arrow by setting the
'extra-offset' property of the 'TextScript' object.
