Fermatas

The fermata, or hold ( or), is an Articulation. For complete instructions, see Articulations. Note that the fermata has been defined to flip upside-down automatically when a stem’s direction changes (as a result of a transposition, for example). Articulations with an associated upside-down symbol appear side-by-side in the selection square of the Articulation Selection dialog box.
