Re: Is there a glyph? (or something) to indicate a clap in a vocal piece?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi;

  On a related note (pun not intended!) I have seen a Tuba solo score
where there is a notation to "slap" the instrument, shown as literally
a "slap" like a "rit." or ".cresc.". I was wondering how to engrave
that...other than the obvious...

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
