Re: [LSR-620] Vertical line as a baroque articulation mark

[Mats Bengtsson]

I would perhaps have written

  This short vertical line placed above the note is commonly used in 
baroque music. <p>
  It is commonly typeset using \staccatissimo, but if you want the 
original layout, the following example demonstrates how to achieve such 
a notation.

Possibly, you could also add a comment on the technical implementation:
"The code uses an arbitrarily chosen articulation (stopped) and replaces 
the symbol by a markup that gives the desired layout. "
