Oops. That was from the private tune-cellar. Hadn't expected to send it out, so I forgot to check for non-standard (to others) abc when I did. P is for emphasis and J is a slide up. (Thought that one was generally accepted.) >When using constructs that go beyond abc 1.6 it's a good idea >to describe them in the header. > Agreed. And as a corollary, I hope that people writing playback programs make it possible to reassign the letters H-Z, or at least disable the defaults. I know Abcmus does. It's a real drag to hear emphasis interpreted as an inverted mordent with no way of changing it. Cheers, To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
