There is an articulation symbol used that I cannot find in Lilypond's
documentation. It is the same symbol as the marcato, except upside down. I
have no idea what it is. I thought perhaps to take the Marcato symbol and
simply rotate it 180-degrees. But alas I have been unsuccessful at
ferreting out exactly the required directives to make this happen. I tried:
rmarcato = \tweak rotation #'(180 0 0)
\marcato
{
c\rmarcato
}
1. Does anyone actually know what this symbol is? Again, looks like a
Marcato except rotated 180-degrees.
Maybe it _is_ a marcato. And the symbol has been reoriented in musical
practice when violinists confused it with \upbow.
David,
I should have said I'm using v2.16.2.
Placement in code is:

%LocalVariables
stemOn = { \override Staff.Stem #'transparent = ##f }
stemOff = { \override Staff.Stem #'transparent = ##t }
caesura = {
\once \override BreathingSign #'text = \markup {
\musicglyph #"scripts.caesura.curved"
}
\breathe
}
rmarcato = \tweak rotation #'(180 0 0)
\marcato
rightShift = {
\once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #0.5
}
</quote>
The rmarcato tweak as written does not work.
