Ok, thanks for the explanation Andrew.
But I'm afraid you can't do that here since 'elipse' draws a single line
with a specific thickness. A note head with a counter would need at least
two lines/elipses, one filled 'inside' and the other filled 'outside' (but
I don't know how to do that).
So I'm afraid you'll have to go through a postscript - that you don't want
if I understood you well - or a 'path' drawing.
Here's a draft for a 'path' (counter has, of course, to be adapted to your
design):
\version "2.19.18"
sOne =
\markup
\override #'(filled . #t)
\path #0.01
#'((moveto 0.00 -0.35)
(lineto 0.08 -0.28)
(curveto 0.08 -0.32 0.10 -0.33 0.18 -0.33)
(curveto 0.48 -0.33 1.03 0.08 1.03 0.28)
(curveto 1.03 0.34 0.94 0.33 0.93 0.33)
(curveto 0.65 0.33 0.08 -0.05 0.08 -0.28)
(lineto 0.00 -0.35)
(curveto 0.00 0.00 0.55 0.55 0.90 0.55)
(curveto 1.00 0.55 1.10 0.50 1.10 0.35)
(curveto 1.10 0.00 0.55 -0.55 0.20 -0.55)
(curveto 0.05 -0.55 0.00 -0.45 0.00 -0.35))
sTwo =
\markup
\override #'(filled . #t)
\path #0.01
#'((moveto 0.00 -0.35)
(curveto 0.00 0.00 0.55 0.55 0.90 0.55)
(curveto 1.00 0.55 1.10 0.50 1.10 0.35)
(curveto 1.10 0.00 0.55 -0.55 0.20 -0.55)
(curveto 0.05 -0.55 0.00 -0.45 0.00 -0.35))
#(define exp-stencil-2
(lambda (grob)
(let ((duration (ly:grob-property grob 'duration-log)))
(if (> duration 1)
(grob-interpret-markup grob sTwo)
(grob-interpret-markup grob sOne)))))
%%% test:
treble = \relative c'' {
\clef treble
\time 4/4
c c8 c16 c2 c16 |

\new Staff = "treble" { \treble }
\new Staff = "bass" { \bass }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override NoteHead.stencil = #exp-stencil-2
}
}
}
I hope this will bring you a better help than my previous answer ;)
Cheers,
Pierre
