| 13 | Mussym | |
| 14 | </H2> | |
| 15 | <P> | |
| 16 | While it is possible to place musical symbols | |
| 17 | such as fermatas and coda signs using | |
| 18 | <A HREF="textmark.html">text statements,</A> | |
| 19 | it is perhaps a bit confusing, since music | |
| 20 | symbols are really not part of any particular font. So there is a "mussym" | |
| 21 | statement which can be used. The text strings after the colon must each | |
| 22 | consist of a single musical symbol whose name can be given without the | |
| 23 | usual \() wrapper. The following two lines produce identical results, | |
| 24 | but the second is perhaps a bit clearer: | |
| 25 | <BR><PRE> | |
| 26 | rom above 1: 1 "\(ferm)"; | |
| 27 | mussym above 1: 1 "ferm"; | |
| 28 | </PRE><BR> | |
| 29 | </P> | |
| 30 | <P> | |
| 31 | A duration is not allowed on mussym statements | |
| 32 | except in one special case--if the | |
| 33 | symbol is "tr" (trill). In that case, the duration tells Mup how long a | |
| 34 | wavy line to draw from the end of the "tr" symbol. | |
| 35 | <BR><PRE> | |
| 36 | 1: 2e;g; | |
| 37 | mussym above 1: 1 "tr" til 2; 3 "ferm"; | |
| 38 | endbar | |

| 43 | A size can optionally be specified, inside parentheses: | |
| 44 | <BR><PRE> | |
| 45 | mussym (15) above 2: "turn"; | |
