There is an articulation symbol used that I cannot find in Lilypond's documentation. It is the same symbol as the marcato, except upside down. I have no idea what it is. I thought perhaps to take the Marcato symbol and simply rotate it 180-degrees. But alas I have been unsuccessful at ferreting out exactly the required directives to make this happen. I tried:
<quote>
\once \override TextScript #'rotation = #'(180 -1 0)
</quote>
But that does not do anything.
So, two questions.
1. Does anyone actually know what this symbol is? Again, looks like a Marcato except rotated 180-degrees.
2. How might I rotate Lilypond's Marcato symbol?
Thanks in advance.
