Strings - marcato symbol

Do you know how to mark a marcato notes in the score ?

I can`t find it in any of my books...

Thanks in advance :)

are you asking how to do this in finale ?

Nol, I ask generally... i have no idea, how to mark that the note should be played marcato...

Usually, I see marcato printed like "marcato" behind the notes.

The mark looks just like an upside down triangle written above or below (depending on the stem direction) of the note head.

I'm pretty sure that the upside down v is staccatissimo... but I couldn't tell you how to write marcato so : I'm not much help, sorry

I'm agreeing with James.

Notice he didn't say v - he said triangle. It's a filled in triangle.

I have had conductors who interpret a line above the note as a sort of marcato-like effect... then again, the line is interpreted so many ways that it probably doesn't matter.

Usually, though, I see "marcato" or "marc," like Arthur Reglay mentioned.

I thought a marcato symbol was a tenuto on top of a staccato

Nope.

Actually, sometimes yes. Again, it probably depends on the conductor, but I've always seen the dot-dash combination interpreted as a heavy short note... ie marcato.
