Of course, there’s always good old BalloonText:

%%%%%%%%
mufflePath=
\markup
\path #'0.15 #'((moveto -1.25 0)
                (lineto 1.25 0)
                (moveto 0 -1.25)
                (lineto 0 1.25))

muffleMarkup=
\markup \translate #'(0 . 1)
\combine \mufflePath
\draw-circle #1 #0.15 ##f

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff {b1 \bar "|."}
  \new Staff \with { \consists "Balloon_engraver" }
