I'm not sure I understand exactly what this symbol should look like, I
can't recall having seen anything similar. Anyhow, this raises a more
general idea I've had, namely to be able to typeset any general TeX
symbol anywhere in the staff. It could be either with a stem, just
replacing the ordinary notehead (for example to get diamond or cross
shaped note heads), or without a stem. One particular example I have
in mind is the so called accaciatura which is commonly used in for
example french baroque music which is printed as a slanted line
between two tones of a chord.
This should be fairly easy to implement. The next step for you would
then be to find or design a TeX symbol of the right shape. You could
try to look at all different symbols that are available in TeX and
LaTeX. Search for example at

How do you enter the cyrillic? Are you using some 8-bit character
encoding like OT2 or do you insert some kind of TeX macro for
each character?
If you use an 8-bit character set, I can't understand how it could
work in 1.1.27. When I try writing swedish characters, I get an
assertion failure in both 1.1.27 and 1.1.31. Try the following patch,
(for 1.1.33) which at least solves my problems with national
characters. It it doesn't help you, please give a more specific
example.
