Dear all:

In the revision of Werner's Kunst der Fuge I found
a glitch. Bach often uses in his work an
ornament which is a trill with a `Nachschlag', written
as a fusion of a shake and a mordent (which it is) and called by him
`Doppel-Cadence'. However, this ornament is not available as a font
in musixtex and Werner has taken as a replacement the ornament
\Mordent which looks somewhat similar, but is a trill with
a centered vertical slash. This sign is used by some baroque
composers as a long mordent, not at all was Bach intended.
I would need a trill sign that has the vertical slash in the
middle of the third upward line. I probably
could manage by a long serie of trial and error to create such a font,
but I think this would be a waste of time when so many
TeXperts or metafont wizards are around. Has somebody
an easy solution or a proposal? As a matter of fact, this
ornament is very frequent, much more frequent than the long
mordent.

Christof
