Well, you can fudge your own stuff, like

\new Staff
{
  \tweak stencil #(lambda (grob)
                   (grob-interpret-markup grob
                    #{ \markup \vcenter \fraction \number "4" \note { \breve } 
#UP #}))
  \time 8/1
  c'\breve \breve \breve \breve
}

Basically, provide your own visuals.
