I’m in the need of inserting a conventional symbol above a note to indicate it 
will be the very last one to be played, even if there are others following. 
This is used in particular circumstances, such as short music lines to be 
repeated various times, as technical loops, etc. As an example, imagine a 
measure containing a series of notes where the very first one will also be the 
ending one of the repeated pattern; the measure has to be repeated various 
times and, instead of adding a new measure containing the same note (on which 
the pattern begins), a conventional symbol would indicate to the performer on 
which note to stop playing (a sort of exit loop instruction). Although these 
contents are for piano, I have frequently seen the down-bow symbol used for 
this purpose. Could this symbol, in your experience, be considered conventional 
or would you indicate a better solution?
