Oops. That was from the private tune-cellar. Hadn't expected to
send it out, so I forgot to check for non-standard (to others) abc when I
did. P is for emphasis and J is a slide up. (Thought that one was
generally accepted.)

Agreed. And as a corollary, I hope that people writing playback
programs make it possible to reassign the letters H-Z, or at least disable
the defaults. I know Abcmus does. It's a real drag to hear emphasis
interpreted as an inverted mordent with no way of changing it.
