Hello! I would like to use Lilypond for a critical edition of Nicola Vicentino's treatise "L'antica musica" (Rome 1555). The original notation uses an unconventional accidental to indicate a pitch modification of a "Diesis" (ca. 1/5 of a whole tone). To mimic the appearance of this sign I need to place a dot centered above the notehead in the next available space (not above the staff like articulations, not on staff lines).
I couldn't find a feature that detects the next available space. Do you have recommendations how to implement such a behaviour? Collisions with other noteheads (in chords), fingerings or articulations wont' be an issue since the original notation never uses such things. Examples of the original notation can be found here, see for example fol. 12v (PDF p. 24): http://vmirror.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/9/94/IMSLP114662-PMLP210243-lantica_musica.pdf Thank you! Johannes
