Actually, that was my first approach: drawing two overlapping rectangles
(or, if you prefer, three non-overlapping rectangles) and adding filled
circles, as shown below for the upper left corner.

The problem is the circle, which is currently supported neither by
lookup.cc, nor by tex.scm, ps.scm, pdf.scm etc. I could give it a try,
but that probably would take quite a while, since I had to study
ps, pdf etc. in detail. Are there any volunteers that already know
about ps, pdf, etc. and could just provide a filled circle via
lookup.cc? :-) (We will need circles anyway as soon as we introduce
contemporary graphical notation into lily.)
Actually, I succeeded in drawing a bezier-sandwich that looks like a
half-circle, but a true circle would be nicer.
