Hi all,

In super old scores, an asterisk was used, but that is not true of scores 
today. The example below that says English Ballad is from 1942. The next one is 
from 2005 and seems to be what is standard. The final one is one I created last 
year with Finale so you could see what proportions they chose. (It is extra 
large as the book is for younger students.)

After studying these examples more, I adjusted the settings to make it 
consistent with current examples.

mufflePath= \markup \path #'0.15 #'((moveto -1.125 0)
                                    (lineto 1.125 0)
                                    (moveto 0 -1.125)
                                    (lineto 0 1.125))

muffleMarkup= \markup \translate #'(1.2 . -1.5) 
                         \combine \mufflePath \draw-circle #.75 #0.15 ##f

It would be wonderful for harpists if this glyph could be added.

Best,
Rachel
