+The symbol for semi-flat does not match the symbol which is used
+in Arabic notation.  The @code{\dwn} symbol defined in
+@code{arabic.ly} may be used preceding a flat symbol as a work
+around if it is important to use the specific Arabic semi-flat
+symbol.  The appearance of the semi-flat symbol in the key
