Most of the notation which is useful for orchestral strings
and other bowed instruments is covered elsewhere:
@item Fingerings, including the thumb indication, are described
in @ref{Fingering instructions}.
-@item When writing for orchestral strings, slurs are used to
-indicate passages which should be bowed in a continuous movement.
-For details, see @ref{Slurs}.
-
@item Double stopping is normally indicated by writing a chord,
-see @ref{Chorded notes}. A triple or quadruple stop might be
-indicated by a square bracket to indicate the notes should be
-played simultaneously rather than arpeggiated. A square bracket
-is also used to indicate the two notes of a double stop should be
-played divisi by the two players on the stand. A bracket arpeggio
-can be used to bracket notes together, see @ref{Arpeggio}.
-
-@item For passages which require two voices see @rlearning{I'm
-hearing Voices} and @ref{Single-staff polyphony}.
+see @ref{Chorded notes}. Directives for playing chords may be
+added, see @ref{Arpeggio}.
@item A template for a string quartet can be found in
@rlearning{String quartet}. Others are shown in the snippets.

@node Harmonics
Natural harmonics can be notated in several ways. A diamond-shaped
note head generally means to touch the string where you would stop
-the note if it were not a diamond. Diamond note heads are created
-by placing @code{\harmonic} after the note and enclosing the whole
-in angle brackets.
+the note if it were not a diamond.
+
+@warning{Harmonics @strong{must} be defined inside a chord
+construct even if there is only a single note.}
+
+@c TODO If the default for harmonicDots is changed, change this
Dotted harmonics indicated with @code{\harmonic} do not show the
dots. The context property @code{harmonicDots} should be set if
dots are required.

+<d\harmonic>4 <e\harmonic>2.
\set harmonicDots = ##t
-<b\harmonic>4 <b\harmonic>2.
+<d\harmonic>4 <e\harmonic>2.
@end lilypond
Alternatively a normal note head is shown at the pitch to be
played as a harmonic:
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-d4^\flageolet d_\flageolet
+d2^\flageolet d_\flageolet
@end lilypond
A smaller circle may be created, see the snippet list in
Artificial harmonics are notated with two notes, one with a normal
note head indicating the stopped position and one with an open
diamond note head to indicate the harmonic position.
-They are entered by marking the harmonic pitch with @code{\harmonic}.
-Note the @code{\harmonic} command must be placed within the angle
-brackets signifying the chord. The example shows the notation for a
-fourth and a fifth harmonic.
