Can someone please clarify a symbol I have come across for trombone. The symbol looks like an up-bow marking for stringed instruments, when placed above the note. When placed below the note, the symbol is turned upside down so that the point of the "V" points in the direction of the note.Is this a type of "brassy" accent? What does it mean? On Windows, in the Engraver Character Set, I would suppose I should use the characters "v" (for above the note) and Shift-6 (for below the note). Please comment. Liudas Motekaitis
If it changes direction, then it isn't what I think it is, which is a "V" for "valve", meaning play it with the F key. Since it changes direction, then it is most likely a marcato accent, which I see upside down like this in some European (especially Italian) hand copy.
The V for valve would only apply to notes low F or below, or to B natural or C in the bass staff, unless it is to indicate a special alternate position.
