Re: request for combined accent

[yota moteuchi]

Thank you for your answer

the c^"≥" trick gave indeed the best visual result, as you can see in
the screenshot where I used ^\unormlegato, _\dnormlegato and ^"≥".

But I still believe that a nice looking "≥" (and its reversed twin
which does not exist as a character in the unicode tables), should be
added to feta font (as we did for the \portato)
This will enable an homogenous syntax for the articulations,
an automatic selection : up or down, depending on the position of the notehead
and last but not least, the look will not depend on the text font,
which may vary.

≥ sign could be used as model.
