what is an articulation that looks like a marcato but is shaped like a
half-moon?
This is from an arrangement of the Marcello Oboe Concerto (Adagio
movement) by way of Bach and/or Vivaldi, re-arranged for two trumpets,
french horn and tuba.
The articulation in question is from the first trumpet part.
I don't see anything like this in the list of articulations in the
Notation Reference.
I haven’t seen anything like it before and without further context I
would assume it’s an error: maybe a character doesn’t display properly
due to pdf export issues? or maybe they’re supposed to be ties,
suggesting a sort of portato or vibrato, and have been squashed?
Context could tell you whether there’s other instances to clarify the
meaning, or maybe even a foreword/footnote/annotation. Or is there
anything in the model that this is transcribed after?
Best, Simon
