This thread opened by asking who knew about two music notation symbols. I pointed out two internet communities which might have people who know about music notation. Because I am subscribed to both, I offered to pass on the question as I understood it. I now no longer understand what question to pass on. I will leave it to the proponents of these proposal(s) to contact those communities if they think it will be helpful.
