The next optional qualifier is a point size, given in parentheses after the font type of rom, bold, etc. Chord, analysis, figured bass, and dynamics The final optional qualifier specifies special treatment of the text. The default place for chord and dyn is above, whereas the default for the others is below. This is because a literal letter n tends to occur more often in chords than natural signs. If you want to turn off the translation, to treat one of these characters literally, you can preceed it with two backslashes.
Transposition has no effect on analysis or figbass.
In figbass, the string starts out in piled mode, which means that each space in the input string will cause a new line on output, and, unless you specify other alignment, each line will be aligned on the last digit in the line. It is possible to supply a duration on text statements. When this is done, Mup will draw a dashed line from the end of the text to the end of the duration. This may be useful if you want to indicate how long an action such as an accelerando or crescendo is to last. If the last character of the string is an underscore, an underscore line will be drawn.
