Mezzo-staccato, also called portato.

Of course I should have written \ust .

It's been interesting and a little frustrating looking into the 4 "features"
Andre identified. Most of the frustration is from a combination of my fading
memory and insufficient commenting in the PMX code, making it very difficult
to reconstruct PMX's internal logic. But here's where I stand on
I had already figured out that using \upz and \ust would remove the
restriction. But as it now stands, PMX assumes that when these ornaments are
used on single, up-beamed notes, by default they go below the notehead, so
it uses \lpz, \lst. I was hoping to address this "feature" without

makes sense: pluck the string and then hold the note: i.e.,
pizzicato which is *not* staccato. But on other kinds of

Even better is to use \upzst:

\upzst p\tbu1\qb1j\ibu1k2\upzst q\qb1k%

The \lpz and \lst are there, but the former are masked by
the latter, whose
Andre has provided an example that highlights the following "feature": If
you try to put \lpz or \lst above the staff, you are restricted to every
other vertical position. The same is not true of \upz or \ust. Here is a PMX
file that generates the pasted example.
