Hi Knute, thanks for answering and pointing to this.
I did see NoteNames in the manual, which look neat for an entire
melodic line, but I'm not sure how to use them for a single note and I
don't like much the idea of adding a NoteNames context to the complete
score, skipping most of it just to reach 1 or 2 notes.

As for now, I got a mostly satisfying result with a tweaked markup.
Here's the complete line, and attached the resulting measure (hope it
passes through) :
2^\markup { \translate-scaled #'( 2.5 . 5.8 ) \box \smaller
\smaller \concat { " F"\translate-scaled #'(0.1 . 0.8) \smaller
\smaller \sharp " " } }\)\arpeggio\fermata

I did put the box right as the left side of the chord is more crowded,
though it would certainly be better to see the cue before the actual
note.

In the end the markup solution isn't that complicated, so I'm not sure
having a dedicated solution for this kind of corner case would be
helpful...

Cheers !
Yann
