Hi Saul (et al.),

Personally, I find the Unicode symbols unattractive, so I prefer to use
Lilypond. Sizing and alignment are easily tweaked by predefining macros:
\version "2.19.83"
textFlat = \markup \raise #0.4 \fontsize #-2 { \hspace #0.0875 \flat }
textNatural = \markup \raise #0.625 \fontsize #-2 { \hspace #0.175 \natural }
textSharp = \markup \raise #0.75 \fontsize #-2 { \hspace #0.1 \sharp }
\markup \concat { B \textFlat " is one semitone below " B \textNatural ", and
two semitones below " B \textSharp }
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
