Subj: [kl] Notation - 'swell' vs accent
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 15:05:17 -0500

Other than trying to place a "<" and ">" above a single note, is there
an accepted notation for a note that is intended to begin (say) 'p' and
then 'swell' to 'mp' and then drop back down to 'p' before the next note
is attacked? Since a wedge usually extends over several notes, placing
two wedges over a single note is confusing, especially if other notes in
the same measure have true accents.

Or is this sort of thing considered to be 'micromanaging', and is left
to the performer's discretion?
