Additionally, sometimes I think it's far more easily to integrate in the overall design than the usual symbol. Yours takes no precious vertical space, and I don't have to bother with shifting around till it's at the best place. > I am sure that I am breaking some engraving 'rule' but it's a nice glyph. I've seen it in Bosworth & Co. scores only, but they seem to use it exclusively instead of the common shape. But I also made up the habit of telling the ones I hand my scores out to that I use a unusual symbol for d'al segno, to avoid irritations.
