Looking for dash articulation mark à la Beethoven?

• May 16, 2025 - 14:52

Hello, I am arranging some music of Beethoven and I can't find the appropriate dash articulation symbol that was so favoured by him.

The various staccatissimo wedges are not really suitable. There should be one that is pointed on one end and rounded on the other. As per Barenreiter.

I have seen this mark before in scores made with earlier versions of MuseScore. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Is there a way to add this mark to the palette in version 4.5?

I think it's purely a difference in font. Leyland font shows staccatissimo this way with the rounded style.
The palette doesn't seem to allow me to add the same character but from a different font style.
So I just have to change the whole score to that font (Bravura/Emmentaler/Finale) in order to activate this style of staccatissimo dash.

Thanks for your help.
