Up bow? Down bow? Articulations.....
I see an Up Bow in Articulations, but not a Down Bow. Is there a way to flip the Up Bow and make it a Down Bow? Pressing "x" changes the position from above to below and back again. It doesn't reverse the direction of the bow....

Hello, did you turn on the Advanced workspace?

Advanced workspace is on. Edit Articulation Properties shows Up Down Auto, but there is no change between Up and Down. Above Staff and Below Staff work fine. Is there another fix? Or is there a way to paste a Down Bow into the Articulations palette?

You don't have these symbols

in your advanced palette?
The one on the left is a down bow.

Aha! Yes. I have both of those. I was looking for a reversed up bow to match the printed music. I'll leave a transcriber's note that the old format is not available in current technology.
Thanks, Mike! To the rescue once again. :)

And I keep saying things backwards. The one on the right is the down bow.

Down bow is not a flipped up bow but rather a different symbol altogether:

The original book was printed in 1906. I'm sure there's been standardization of symbols since then. I'll use current technology and leave a note for the postprocessor. Thanks for keeping me on my toes! :)
The music is not string music. Looks more like piano music. Those can't be bowing directives.
FWIW, the bowing symbols V, and the other symbol that looks like an upper-case Greek Pi are, I believe, old symbols that derive from letters. Never seen the inverted V, or a bowing symbol below placed beneath a note.
As for what those symbols mean, I dunno. If I had to guess, I'd say accents, but not standard. I've never seen the marcato below the note. Organ toe directives?... Nah. I give up.

LOL! I give up too. First rule in transcribing music ... "Match the scan, Don't change what the author wrote." The piano score will go in the HTML. But I also submit an AUDIO file with all the orchestra in it. If possible, I find an audio recording to emulate. Other than listening to eight hours of Wagner so far, this book isn't too difficult. Ethnic and tribal music can be challenging. I depend you YouTube for examples and suggestions. A lot of time listeners will get "My Best Guess." ;)
Indeed, those aren't bow markings but quirky-looking marcato accents. MuseScore has them but in a more standard appearance, and flipping them with "x" does what you would want.

Marcatos! Wow! ROFL! Thanks, Marc. To the rescue once again. I changed everything so it now makes sense. :)
