Re: caesura

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you search for "Breathing sign" at
http://lilypond.org/stable/input/regression/out-www/regression.html
you will find an example file showing how to change the symbol used.
At the end of the users manual, you can find a list of all the symbols
in the music font (look in the PS or PDF versions on-line. 
Unfortunately, there's a bug in the files for the stable version, so
click first on lilypond.org/development). I'm not sure if you can find
any appropriate symbol there at the moment. It's also possible to use
other LaTeX fonts by setting some more properties of the BreathingSign
graphical object.
