| 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"; |
