Some of these articulations have shorthands for easier entry.
Shorthands are appended to the note name, and their syntax
-consists of a dash (@tie{}@code{-}) followed by a symbol
-signifying the articulation. Predefined shorthands exist for
-@notation{marcato}, @notation{stopped}, @notation{tenuto},
-@notation{staccatissimo}, @notation{accent}, @notation{staccato},
-and @notation{portato}. Their corresponding output appears as
-follows:

-The direction of an arpeggio is indicated by adding an arrowhead
-to the wiggly line. The commands @code{\arpeggioArrowUp} and
-@code{\arpeggioArrowDown} are used for this task.
-@code{\arpeggioNormal} reverts back to an arrow-less arpeggio:
+Different types of arpeggios may be written.
