Re: Breath mark style in LilyPond 2.23.80

I think users can't help me there, Mark,
the old default \breathe character was replaced by the developers in the 
font and exchanged for a text style-like comma. I would like to see the 
old breath mark symbol preserved somewhere in the font, so you can still 
use it. By the way, here are all the breath marks now available listed, 
the "old" one is not there:

kind regards
