I got it working in LilyPond by merely installing Euterpe (Mac OS X)
as a system font("Computer" in Font Book", not "User"), and then
using a UTF-8 source code file (which I create using Xcode). Input
source may be
fis16^\markup {...}
cis^\markup {\override #'(font-name . "Euterpe") {...}}
where "..." is U+1D19D encoded as UTF-8 in the source-file. It also
works with the U+1D1A0 U+1D19D combination.
So the problem is only that there is no font with the right glyphs
installed.
One can then go ahead making a function. - LilyPond has Scheme in it,
in the form of Guile, I think.
Normally, one would write \prall to get the Pralltriller (inverted or
upper mordent), for example \fis\prall. This then expands to an
ornament that looks like the combination U+1D19C U+1D19D (two peaks
and two valleys).
