You will probably need to use PostScript.
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/
formatting-text#graphic-notation-inside-markup

Then those markings that have no certain interpretation are not input
as musical glyphs that have an intended interpretaion, but as lines and
curves.

Probably the PostScript can be in text scripts, but with X-offset
and Y-offset hand-tuned to particular numbers so that LilyPond does
not try to place these marks herself.
