different periods.  It's a trill for Purcell, and also Buxtehude (I think)
but in early 17th cent. English kbd music there is // and /, often written
across the stem, and their meanings are not 100% clear. A + over a note can
mean a trill in 17th century Germany, but in lilypond it's called \stopped.

Anyway, I can't think of a good clear name for the // ornament.  I'll just
concentrate on learning the graphic markup commands that Phill point to.
