Ideally, the 'x' would be from the same typeface as the tab numbers. Is 
there a way to specify this in the scheme code? Like, instead of

(markup #:musicglyph
"noteheads.s2cross"))))


you could do something like

(markup #:whatever code-would-call-the-tab-numbers-font
"the-name-of-the-font.the-name-of-the-glyph"))))

?

(Sorry, I know nothing about scheme code)
