Hi Federico,

1) use TextScript #'padding

2) use  \translate

3) There are other arrows in the UTF-8 characters. 

For ex. :

up = _\markup \translate #'(-.2 . 0) \rotate #90 "➛"

down = _\markup \translate #'(-.2 . 0) \rotate #-90 "➛"

Thanks Pierre!

BTW, I found this snippet:

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=409

where arrows (\strokeUp and \strokeDown) are defined by \postscript commands (instead of UTF-8 characters)

more difficult and more flexible...

I think I'll add an example in the LSR (specific for flatpicking guitar)
