It's for long vowels indeed! Now I just need someone to give me the correct name.

All may reanswer.

Yes, ß is named eszett and represents the unvoiced "S" sound after a long vowel (or a diphthong). Lovy would definitely have been able to tell me all this had he been around.

I'm throwing out a guess of 3 just because cubed is 3.

Yes! The one performance for which I happened to be out of the house, so I didn't actually see it.

(Yes I know I could look it up on YouTube but it's not the same as seeing it happening live…)
