Is a short accent above a note played like staccato?

It shouldn't be staccato unless the staccato dot is there. If the note is very short and followed by a rest, though, it's basically the same effect. But the accent does not imply any additional shortness or detachment. -
I get what you are meaning Chris, these are the kind of accents above notes that I have in mind.

No - they're just heavier accents. Accents have nothing to do with legato/staccato. It gets more confusing though because Beethoven and Schumann sometimes used the staccato dot to mean an accent!Originally posted by Megan View Post'Man know thyself'Comment
