Check
its output. This is basically what you need, except that you need to
replace the C-Griff function which uses filled and non-filled circles
in
a three-row arrangement with a more tedious rectangular arrangement.
The c-griff function here only does the formatting and would need to be
completely replaced. In contrast, the stuff in define-scheme-function
could be kept unchanged.
Or maybe

might give some inspiration.

Thanks to David and Harm for their suggestions. For now I've gone
with adapting what Harm suggested - I've tidied the code a little and
added a scaling parameter that varies the width of the keys and the
size of the dot. Example output is attached, together with the file
used to create this.
\textLengthOn
b4^\markup\keys #'(b) #1 r r2 r1
b4^\markup\keys #'(b) #1.5 r r2 r1
b4^\markup\keys #'(b) #key_scale r r2 r1
a4^\markup\keys #'(a) #2.5 r r2 r1
bes4^\markup\keys #'(bes) #3 r r2
Ah, but you need to type every note/chord yourself. The part to be
taken from my suggestion was supposed to automate that effort, making
the whole thing typo-proof.
Yes, I realise that and would like to add that feature. But for now it
allows me to play the xylophone (I hope) and so I will need to devote the
time to studying the automated mechanism when I have more time - during
vacation.
