Yes, it is possible to do this by modifying the stencil of the NoteName
grob. I'm not sure what your system is, so I thought I'd show how you
might convert Lilypond's pitch representation into the familiar C4=middle C
system. You could probably adapt it to your needs.
This only works with single notes at the moment, but I'll fiddle around
with it some more.
Hope this helps,
David
