How about "quasi" for almost?

Thanks, I should've remembered that myself.

....and while we're talking about musical terms: "expresivo". I can
imagine that the composer wants extra emphasis and contrast in the
dynamics, and wants the player to find the appropriate note or phrase
and extend it or soften or punch it a little bit extra.

But my mind always rebels when I see this instruction. I mean, who
would want to play 'non-expressive' music? My 600+ page music
dictionary doesn't even bother to define 'expresivo'. For good reason,
IMO.

Cheers,
Bill
