If you search for "Breathing sign" at http://lilypond.org/stable/input/regression/out-www/regression.html you will find an example file showing how to change the symbol used. At the end of the users manual, you can find a list of all the symbolsin the music font (look in the PS or PDF versions on-line. Unfortunately, there's a bug in the files for the stable version, soclick first on lilypond.org/development). I'm not sure if you can find any appropriate symbol there at the moment. It's also possible to use other LaTeX fonts by setting some more properties of the BreathingSigngraphical object.
1. I know how to replace a symbol in markup text or the breathing sign as in the regression example with another named character like 'scripts-coda'. I don't know how to use a symbol from another font.
2. This symbol needs to be in the staff. It usually cuts the top two lines of the staff. I don't know enough about placing markup or other marks anywhere I want them. This has caused me difficulty for locating other text needed on basic musical parts.
Any more hints?Even though I am not complaining since this is a volunteer project I am surprised that no one has needed this common (to me at least) musical notation.
Thanks, Paul

A caesura is two parallel diagonal lines (similar to repeat slashes but placed higher) indicating a short noticeable pause in the music. It is sometimes called a cutoff or "railroad tracks." A breath mark only indicates a break in the sound not necesarily in the time.It is ID113 in unicode visible here: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf(the glossary should probably be extended to include "ceasura" as well).Only if it tells how to get the correct symbol.
