That worked nicely, don't quite know why it didn't occur to me in the
first place. I have to say that my knowledge of postscript is nigh on
non-existent, but I did find that this worked:
% A downwards slide after the note, heavily based on /sld
%%postscript /dsld{ M 17.2 -4.8 RM
%%postscript -1.8 -0.7 -4.5 0.2 -7.2 4.8 RC
%%postscript 2.1 -5 5.4 -6.8 7.6 -6 RC fill}!
%%deco dslide 1 dsld 20 0 0
Thanks for the pointer.

I'm using abcm2ps to typeset a piece if fiddle music that has slides
both up and down from various notes. I've found the !slide! annotation,
but was wondering if there is a matching down slide notation. More to
the point I would like to be able to put the down slide after the note
rather than only place it before the note. Can anyone suggest a way to
get this sort of annoatation in ABC?
If you know any PostScript, this doesn't sound too hard. You need to find the
name of the PS routine that draws the slide (might well be slide...use the
source, Luke), and wrap some code around it to redraw it upside down and to
the side...these are fairly simple operations in PS, though it's so long
since I've done it that I'm not confident in providing more details. If you
haven't already done so, get Guido's guide to ABC off abcplus.sf.net. It has
a section on adding your own PS decorations, which is how you'd include your
new code.
