I think that because of the combination of symbols, I would use \markup instead.

\version "2.24.0"

\score {
  \new Staff {
    \relative c'' {
      c8\( b a g8 ~ g8\)^\markup { O \musicglyph "scripts.rcomma" } \acciaccatura { a'8^( } g fis) d
    }
  }
}

It is definitely not ideal, as you'd need to raise the comma a bit still, and you might need to create a bit of space, but it keeps the attachment to the notes they belong to. You can then use the markup positioning to get things into the right place.

The above three little screenshots show breathing marks in an oboe score - respectively "breathe out", "breathe in" and "breathe out-and-in".

I know of the \breathe command, and I have seen from the documentation that the "comma" can be raised.

But being new to Lilypond, I would appreciate advice on the best way to achieve the above, in the most "natural" way.

One thing I see from the whole score is that sometimes the breath indication is between notes, and sometimes closer to being above a note. So it would be useful to find a solution that allows for vertical and horizontal adjustment.

Thanks in advance.
