Yes, I'd agree with this. > Richard> As a shorthand for "(ab.)", do you mean ? > > >> .(...) operator: > >> Dotted slurs (not sure about this one) > > Richard> like "(a.b.c.d.)" ? > > Again, abc2ps doesn't do anything different with this than with > (abcd). Yes, okay, I misunderstood. I was thinking dotted==staccato Which, doesn't your abc2ps produce dotted notes ? Odd thing, though. My "(a.b.c.d.)" above ought, surely, to produce staccato notes with a slur over them ? In fact, the first note doesn't appear to have the dot. And (AB.)(c.d.) only produces a dot over the d.
