    An identifier consists of a colon <kbd>:</kbd> followed by an alphanumeric string and after its definition (with the <mark>def</mark> command) can be <em>called</em> anywhere in the score.<br/>
    For example valid symbols are <code>:intro :chorus :ending</code><br/>
    Symbols are similar to constants definition in programming languages and are tipically employed to reuse a particular motif (possibly transformed) several times.
