I am now confused. 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.
