Haydn's autograph was, I think, pretty much indistinguishable from something like downprall or similar. But that's sort of a red herring. If the execution is deemed by the publisher (according to musical cues) to be the kind of "Haydn turn", a particular glyph tends to be used for that in print. Just which glyph was used differed over the centuries. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
