Some further information on this ornament. Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians lists it as "Double curve rising to note: Lower appogiatura with slur -- Early 18th Century German including J.S.Bach"
and "Double curve falling to note: upper appoggiatura with slur --- Early 18th Century German including J.S.Bach" Groves illustrations leave much to be desired. They are hand scrawled! However this page has good illustrations off all these ornaments: < http://www.iment.com/maida/familytree/henry/music/bachnotation.htm > Section 9-12 Has *good* illustrations of at least one of these ornaments. It is the double curve that I am in need of. cheers, David On Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 1:41 AM, David Fedoruk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello: > > Does Lilypond have a way to print a pre-classical period appogiatura > as preceding a prall or mordent?
