Greetings,
The "up bow" and "down bow" symbols are used when notating plucked string
instruments played with a plectrum. For rasgueados, I have not seen them
used. Typically, rasgueados are notated with an arpeggio line, using an up
arrowhead at the top to indicate a down strum (from lowest sounding to
highest sounding strings) or an arrowhead at the bottom for upstroke.
I don't know how to do this in lilypond however...
Anyone else?

Hi all. I did a Google and an Archives search on how to notate
rasgueado with lilypond, and the instructions there said to use an arpeggio.
I've since discovered on Wikipedia that the up bow/down bow notation
used for violins can be used for up strokes/down strokes for plucked string
instruments.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_musical_symbols
(search for "up bow" in the above link)
Anyway, I think that's a better way of indicating things, so I
thought I'd send it to the list, and it would appear in the archives for
future searchers, so they don't have to re-notate everything like I will :).
I'd also welcome responses to this; while I don't hang out on the
lilypond lists any more, I did a few years ago, and the notational knowledge
of some of the people here was amazing to me :).
:)
