@cindex font switching
The markup in the example demonstrates font switching commands. The
less. This distance is determined without regarding alterations; a
@code{fisis} following a @code{ceses} will be put above the
@code{ceses}. In other words, a doubly-augmented fourth is considered
-a smaller interval than a diminshed fifth, even though the fourth is
-seven semitones while the fifth is only six semitones.

The octave changing marks @code{'} and @code{,} can be added to raise
or lower the pitch by an extra octave. Upon entering relative mode,

The LilyPond input syntax is routinely changed to simplify it or improve
it in different ways. As a side effect of this, the LilyPond interpreter
often is no longer compatible with older input files. To remedy this,
@cindex expression
@cindex music expression
This is a sequence of expressions, where each expression is contained
-in the next one. The simplest expressions are numbers, and larger
+in the next (larger) one. The simplest expressions are numbers, and larger
ones are made by combining expressions with operators (like @samp{+},
@samp{*} and @samp{/}) and parentheses. Like mathematical expressions,
music expressions can be nested arbitrarily deep, which is necessary
