[MusicTlk] Musical Symbol Question

[Ella Yu]

Dot 126-2 is a braille music comma, I'm not sure what it's for. I looked it
up in the music braille 2015 book from BANA. Some closely related symbols
are the note vvalue signs to help differentiate whether a note is long
(whole/half/quarter/eight) vs short (16th//32nd/64th) in cases where it
could be ambiguous.
