\fermataMarkup produces a MultiMeasureTextEvent with 'text set to a 
markup that produces a fermata symbol (ufermata or dfermata depending on 
voice direction). You can tweak that 'text property (first solution 
below) or create a \shortfermataMarkup command (second solution):

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.82"

%%%%% FIRST SOLUTION

{
  R1\fermataMarkup
  R1_\fermataMarkup
  R1-\tweak text \markup \musicglyph #"scripts.ushortfermata" 
\fermataMarkup
  R1_\tweak text \markup \musicglyph #"scripts.dshortfermata" 
\fermataMarkup
}

%%%%% SECOND SOLUTION

#(define-markup-command (shortfermata layout props) ()
   #:category music
   #:properties ((direction UP))
   (interpret-markup layout props
     (if (eqv? direction DOWN)
         (markup #:musicglyph "scripts.dshortfermata")
         (markup #:musicglyph "scripts.ushortfermata")
\version "2.19.82"

{
  R1\fermataMarkup
  R-\tweak text \markup \musicglyph #"scripts.ushortfermata" \fermataMarkup
})))

shortfermataMarkup =
#(make-music 'MultiMeasureTextEvent
   'text (make-shortfermata-markup)
   'tweaks '((outside-staff-priority . 40)
             (outside-staff-padding . 0)))


{
  R1\fermataMarkup
  R1_\fermataMarkup
  R1\shortfermataMarkup
  R1_\shortfermataMarkup
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Maybe one should add \shortfermataMarkup, \longfermataMarkup and 
\verylongfermataMarkup to LilyPond …
