\pickup has a reasonable ring to it, fitting it in a reasonable subset of applications for \partial . The problem I have is figuring out its role, though. With \times/\tuplet we clearly phased out \times for \tuplet consistently in the documentation. I am not really on-board with the same regarding \partial/\pickup : the overlap in semantics is different in character. -- David Kastrup
