D'oh!  Of course it can be changed.  I've moved them into the accordion
category, and now they're just "accordion.push" and "accordion.pull".

Since we have an accordion category, I see no reason to keep the "acc" at
the beginning of these glyphs.  I'll have to make sure we don't get a
namespace collision if we change it just to "dot" from "accDot".

But here are the new names I'd propose:

accDot --> dot
accDiscant --> discant
accFreebase --> freeBass
accStdbase --> stdBass
accBayanbase --> bayanBass
accOldEE --> oldEE

Do these make sense?

Thanks,
