Dear Paul,

Assuming that the symbol is a marcato-staccato, one could use some scheme code a bit like the following which is pasted together from the short fermata and staccato definitions, so that the layout and midi outputs are properly handled.

\version "2.24.0"

staccatostrongaccent = #(make-articulation 'shortfermata
  'midi-length
  (lambda (len context)
    (moment-min (ly:moment-mul len (ly:make-moment 1/3))
      (seconds->moment 1/3 context))) ; slightly shorter than staccato
        'midi-extra-velocity 40 ; marcato midi-extra-velocity
)

\score {
\relative g' {
  g8^\staccatostrongaccent g8_\staccatostrongaccent
}

\layout {}
\midi {}
}

This is simply a combination of marcato (aka "strong accent") and staccato.  The symbols are not usually overlapped like that, but it is not unknown - see the attached image from "Music Engraving Today" by Steven Powell (which I found in a discussion of how to get Dorico to do this).

I haven't tried, but I imagine that a little tweaking of vertical positions of the two symbols could get them to overlap like this.

    Hello, Friends

    Anyone knows:
      - what is this expression mark (in terms of the player)
      - how to mimic this in Lilypond?

    Thank you!
    Alberto
