Re: [abcusers] tuplet beaming

The back-quote character appears on the standard Mac keyboard on the 
upper-leftmost key, above the tab – very convenient. The character does 
appear to be just ignored by, say, the abc conversion software at    
http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html   (unless it appears in 
the T: field, in which case it is translated to a left curly quote).

The effect is to allow inclusion of a visual marker where emphasis 
might be needed – could be useful.

It's a "back quote" (ASCII 96) according the 2.0 draft is to be 
ignored: A`B is equivalent to AB.

On Dos/Win platform you can get it with Alt+96 (on the numeric 
keypad). No idea on Mac.
