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

+A size can optionally be specified, inside parentheses:
+<BR><PRE>
+mussym (15) above 2: "turn";
+</PRE><BR>
