His son, Wolfgang Mozart, not only made frequent use of the double dot 
invented by his father, but in at least one instance, namely at the 
beginning of the symphony in D written for Hafner, employed a triple 
dot, adding seven eighths to the value of the note which preceded it. 
The triple dot is also employed by Mendelssohn in the Overture to 
Camacho's wedding, bar 2, but has never come into general use.
