It seems that this question has not yet been answered; so, just for the fun to see how MusiXTeX works ... :-) The following macros are involved in a \cna call, in the order given: [EMAIL PROTECTED] \smallna} [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]@Na [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ur [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@xl } [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@sa\kern\accshift}} [EMAIL PROTECTED]@vii=\maxdimen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \else [EMAIL PROTECTED] \fi [EMAIL PROTECTED]@} [EMAIL PROTECTED]@iv} That is: \cna sets [EMAIL PROTECTED] to \maxdimen. This is used just as a switch that is later queried by [EMAIL PROTECTED]; if the switch is set, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is called which in turn typesets character number [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the music symbol font. [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been set to 5 by macro [EMAIL PROTECTED] before, and the music character with that number happens to be just the pair of parentheses.
