You could have at a look at 'Th�orie de la musique' by A. DANHAUSER
(Revised edition, 1996, Editions Henri Lemoine, Paris).
As I understand it:
- !open! is the symbol for (in French) 'harmoniques' on string
instruments, and is a circle, see page 175
- !snap! is for (in French) 'pizz Bartok' on string instruments and is
a circle with a vertical line crossing the circle and continuing up (if
below the staff) or down (if above the staff) on about a half of the
radius of the circle, see page 174
- I don't know anything about !thumb!, but I am a fiddler, not a
cellist...

Don't forget that 'R' is (if not redefined by a 'U' statement) for the
'roll' symbol.
Thanks a lot for your work on abcm2ps!
