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"; | |
46 | </PRE><BR> | |
