I'm trying to replicate a specific notation used at London Russian
Orthodox Cathedral.  It's very simple, and consists of two forward-diagonal
lines across the middle line of the stave extending to the line above and
the line below.  It's used to indicate that the note preceding it is to
be repeated for each syllable of the lyrics that follow.  I know there are
other musical ways of indicating this, but I need to exactly duplicate the
symbol concerned.

What I'm doing at the moment is this:

%
{
   \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
   \cadenzaOn \key f \major
f\breve^\markup { \italic flexe }
 f4 f4 g2 f4 \bar "|."
}

\addlyrics {
\override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
"Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: Trinity, one in essence and" un -- div -- id
-- ed
}

but I need to replace the breve and markup with the right 'thing'.

Thanks in advance.

Richard.
