Hi,

 I'm trying to replace a notehead above the staff by an arrow
indicating a very high pitch. Here is my code, resulting in the
attached example png: [...]

Here are two solutions. The first one kills the ledger lines entirely (which, imo, looks the nicest). The second one aligns the notehead inside the \markup.

pfeileins = {

  \once \override NoteHead #'no-ledgers = ##t

  \once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

  \once \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'( 0.1 . 1 )

  \once \override NoteHead #'text =

\markup {

    \fontsize #5 {

        \arrow-head #Y #UP ##f }}}

        

pfeilzwei = {

  \once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

  \once \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'( 0.1 . -2 )

  \once \override NoteHead #'text =

\markup {

    \raise #1.5

    \fontsize #5 {

        \arrow-head #Y #UP ##f }}}

\relative c''' { \pfeileins f-. \pfeilzwei f-. }
