I understand that one system adapted for representing quarter tones (which requires two additional symbols for flats, one for 1/4 flat, the other for 3/4 flat) uses backwards flats; without seeing the entire piece, though, there's not enough information for me to definitively conclude that this is what is being signified.
zackly. the advantage to using these symbols (and not arrow-inflected accis as some people use) is that they are universally recognized as quarter tone accis and still allow non-tempered inflections in the same piece to be indicated by accis with arrows.
the accis with arrows are used for a range of things, from non-tempered inflections (size of inflection possibly unspecificied), 1/6 tones and 1/8 tones.
