I am working on a transcription of Arban's Method for trumpet. This work makes heavy use of the marcato (or petit chapeau) accent mark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcato). But I don't see this decoration mentioned in the standard. I really think this decoration should be included.
I thought maybe I could fake it out with this:
Code: Select all
U: L = "^^"
But the otherwise excellent abcm2ps doesn't seem to recognize symbols redefined this way. It is happy with things like this:
Code: Select all
U: L = !trill!
But that doesn't help me here. I have tried the latest abcm2ps, but still no luck. Is this a feature that will be available soon by any chance?
The only way I see around this is to include explicit annotations ("^^") everywhere I need a marcato mark. From semantic and conciseness points of view, this is less than ideal.
Am I missing something? Is there something else I could do?
Many thanks,
Dave
