We now have two helpful comments with a specific answer, which helps
this specific user.  It would be nice if we cloud point to the
documentation and have future users find out by themselves.  I found
that the glossary does not really help -- the alternative breve/longa
with single or double lines is not displayed; also `note value' is not a
very obvious place to look
