𝆧
U+1D1A7 "𝆧" Musical Symbol Nebenstimme is a notation mark used in musical scores to indicate a secondary or subordinate voice, typically within contrapuntal works where one melodic line recedes against a primary theme. It belongs to the Musical Symbols block, which encompasses a wide range of signs for modern and historical Western music notation, and its shape resembles a small, angled stroke or bracket placed near the staff. This symbol specifically derives from German terminology, where "Nebenstimme" translates to "secondary part," and it assists performers in identifying less prominent melodic strands that require a distinct but supportive articulation.
