A caesura is sometimes denoted by a double “railtracks” breath mark with a fermata sign positioned above. This snippet shows an optically pleasing combination of railtracks and fermata.

\override BreathingSign.text = \markup {
\override #'(direction . 1)
\override #'(baseline-skip . 1.8)
\dir-column {

\center-align \musicglyph "scripts.caesura.curved"

}
}
