Has anyone created custodes with the modern (stemless) note head style?

The topic came up here in 2013 <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-05/msg00376.html>but was not resolved. I would like to add custos notes to a score in which I am transcribing Gregorian chant in modern (stemless) notation.

I'm not sure which precise look you have in mind. A modern note head as custos can be obtained very easily:

\version "2.25.23"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists Custos_engraver
    \override Custos.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
    \override Custos.text = \markup \musicglyph "noteheads.s2"
  }
}

\relative {
  a'1
  \break
  g
}

Is this want you want?

The Custos_engraver is still part of the C++ codebase, but the stencil custos::print is written in Scheme, so it would even be possible to do very sophisticated tunings of the custos appearance without touching the C++ code.
