Re: Unknown expression mark

[Paul Hodges]

This is simply a combination of marcato (aka "strong accent") and staccato.  The symbols are not usually overlapped like that, but it is not unknown - see the attached image from "Music Engraving Today" by Steven Powell (which I found in a discussion of how to get Dorico to do this).

I haven't tried, but I imagine that a little tweaking of vertical positions of the two symbols could get them to overlap like this.

Hello, Friends

Anyone knows:

 - what is this _expression_ mark (in terms of the player)

 - how to mimic this in Lilypond?

Thank you!
