RE: the accent symbol

Robert -

Maybe you are searching for "marcato" (Italian) or "marcado" (Spanish)

See http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory21.htm#accent

Subject: OT: the accent symbol


Well this is really a trivia question not a music question; please don't 
be offended by the waste of bandwidth as I don't really know where else 
to find expert typographers!

The question is: Is there another name for the "greater than" symbol 
(besides "accent" as used in lilypond)?

Someone once heard it referred to as a morable or something along these 
lines....

Any ideas?

Thanks kindly,

Robert
