This may be a matter of individual interpretation, but I've always been taught that the 2 notations in the image one from the right and two from the right would be a marcato accent, regular accent. A sforzando note would be notated sFz --Elmorell 19:05, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I think this is correct. Sibelius lables the ^ as a Marcato, the > as just a plain accent. --86.142.254.182 11:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

It is difficult for me to see how a tie can be considered articulation. It merely governs how long a single note is to be held. Dysprosia 06:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

These two articles Articulation_(music) and Accent_(music) should be merged in my opinion.

I disagree. Speaking as a musician myself, it has always been my understanding that articulation encompasses a broad range of musical functions, some of which can affect several consecutive notes, while the term “accent” refers to a rather limited group of markings placed on a single note. An accent is a type of articulation. Galanskov 13:00, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Allow me to clarrify. Both terms are highly notable within music theory, and both deserve a complete article. Galanskov 05:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I think they should not be merged, as, in addition to what Galanskov said, metric accents, i.e., bringing out the metric structure, do not seem to have anything to do with articulation, i.e., bringing out the melodic line. One can probably write quite a bit on both features. So they deserve separate articles. Haberg 14:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Details!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   I'm the one who made the "Detail!" on Dynamics.  Again, I say the same cry for info on Articulation.  Tips, background, and more, all excepted.
