Re: "Pipe"-shaped accents

Thanks for the tip, Pierre!

That's actually exactly what I meant, and covers the typesetting considerations as well. I'll check with the publisher to see which they prefer, and typeset accordingly.

Cheers,

Hi Andrew,

First, the music indicates what I assume to be accent or staccato marks with a vertical line, somewhat like a pipe symbol (namely "|" [not to be confused with the letters "l" or "I"]), and I don't see any particular articulation that matches it well. The staccatissimo might work in some fonts, but I'd prefer if I could use something more closely corresponding to the historical shape. Is there one?

 

See Mats' remark in this discussion: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/LSR-620-Vertical-line-as-a-baroque-articulation-mark-td174135.html

Send us a picture and I'll draw the symbol.

Cheers,

Pierre
