Usual ornaments

Arpeggios (i.e. \ ) can be coded with the macro

normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\arpeggio pm

where p is the pitch of the base of the arpeggio symbol and m is its multiplicity (one period is equal to one space between staff lines, i.e. 5 points). This macro causes a space of one note head width. If should be issued before the concerned chords. Its variant normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\larpeggio sets the arpeggio symbol slightly more on the left, in order to avoid collision with accidentals in front of the chords.

Note the normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\arpeggio and normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\larpeggio make an extra spacing of width one notehead (i.e; normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\qsk) so that it is wise to insert a normalshapemediumseries\qsk in the other staffs before notes which are syncrhonous to the arpeggiated note.

Trills can be coded in several ways. normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\trille l (where l is a TEX dimension) yields 1cm while normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\Trille l (where l is a TEX dimension) yields 2cm. To put these patterns at a given pitch, one may use normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\xtrille pl or normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\xTrille pl. On the other hand normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\ntrille pn is equivalent to normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\xtrille pnormalshapemediumseries{ nnormalshapemediumseries\noteskip} and normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\nTrille pn is equivalent to normalshapemediumseries normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\xTrille p{ nnormalshapemediumseries\noteskip}

• normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\pointdorgue p puts a fermata (in French ``point d'orgue'') at pitch p. No spacing occurs.
• normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\pointdurgue p puts a reverse fermata at the same place.
• normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\PED to insert the piano pedal command below the staff; pedal release is specified by normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\DEP; thus the following example
