@cindex prall, up
@cindex prall, down
@cindex thumb marking
@cindex segno
@cindex coda
@cindex varcoda

A variety of symbols that denote articulations, ornamentations,
and other performance indications can be attached to a note using
this syntax:

@example
@var{note}\@var{name}
@end example

The possible values for @var{name} are listed in @ref{List of
articulations}.  For example:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c4\staccato c\mordent b2\turn
c1\fermata
@end lilypond

@cindex marcato
@cindex stopped
@cindex tenuto
@cindex staccatissimo
@cindex accent
@cindex staccato
@cindex portato

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:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c4-^  c-+  c--  c-|
c->   c-.  c-_
@end lilypond

The rules for the default placement of articulations are defined
in @file{scm/@/script@/.scm}.  Articulations and ornamentations
may be manually placed above or below the staff, see
@ref{Direction and placement}.

@code{\ppppp}, @code{\pppp}, @code{\ppp}, @code{\pp}, @code{\p},
@code{\mp}, @code{\mf}, @code{\f}, @code{\ff}, @code{\fff},
@code{\ffff}, @code{\fp}, @code{\sf}, @code{\sff}, @code{\sp},

A @notation{crescendo} mark is started with @code{\<} and
terminated with @code{\!}, an absolute dynamic, or an additional
@notation{crescendo} or @notation{decrescendo} mark.  A
@notation{decrescendo} mark is started with @code{\>} and is also
terminated with @code{\!}, an absolute dynamic, or another
@notation{crescendo} or @notation{decrescendo} mark.  @code{\cr}
and @code{\decr} may be used instead of @code{\<} and @code{\>}.
@notation{Hairpins} are engraved by default using this notation.

@end lilypond

@cindex espressivo articulation

In some situations the @code{\espressivo} articulation mark may be
the appropriate choice to indicate a @notation{crescendo} and
@notation{decrescendo} on one note:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c2 b4 a

@end lilypond

@cindex crescendo
@cindex decrescendo
@cindex diminuendo
@funindex \setTextCresc
@funindex \setTextDim
@funindex \setTextDecr
@funindex \setTextDecresc
@funindex \setHairpinCresc
@funindex \setHairpinDim
@funindex \setHairpinDecresc

@notation{Crescendos} and @notation{decrescendos} can be engraved
as textual markings instead of hairpins.  The built-in commands
that enable these text modes are @code{\setTextCresc},
@code{\setTextDecresc}, @code{\setTextDecr}, and
@code{\setTextDim}.  The corresponding @code{\setHairpinCresc},
@code{\setHairpinDim}, and @code{\setHairpinDecresc} commands will
revert to hairpins again:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c\< d e f\!
e\> d c b\!
\setTextCresc
c\< d e f\!
\setTextDecresc
e\> d c b\!
\setHairpinCresc
c\< d e f\!
@end lilypond

To create new absolute dynamic marks or text that should be
aligned with dynamics, see @ref{New dynamic marks}.

Vertical positioning of dynamics is handled by
@rinternals{DynamicLineSpanner}.

@node New dynamic marks
@subsubsection New dynamic marks

@cindex new dynamic marks
@cindex dynamic marks, new

The easiest way to create dynamic indications is to use
@code{\markup} objects.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
moltoF = \markup { molto \dynamic f }

\relative c' {
  <d e>16 <d e>
  <d e>2.._\moltoF
}
@end lilypond

@cindex dynamics, editorial
@cindex dynamics, parenthesis

Markup mode makes possible, for instance, to add
editorial dynamics, printed in round parenthesis or square
brackets.  Its syntax is described in @ref{Formatting text}.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
rndf = \markup { \center-align { \line { \bold { \italic ( }
         \dynamic f \bold { \italic ) } } } }
boxf = \markup { \bracket { \dynamic f } }
\relative c' {
  c1_\rndf
  c1_\boxf
}
@end lilypond

Markup objects are treated differently from authentic dynamic marks.
Defining dynamic objects that will be entered and printed exactly like
standard dynamic marks is also possible, using the following function:

@cindex make-dynamic-script

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
sfzp = #(make-dynamic-script "sfzp")
\relative c' {
  c4 c c\sfzp c
}
@end lilypond

@noindent
Note that the dynamic font only contains the characters 
@code{f,m,p,r,s} and @code{z}.  To switch to other font families,
it is necessary to use markup mode in its Scheme form, as
explained in @ref{Markup construction in Scheme}.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
moltoF = #(make-dynamic-script (markup 
                      #:normal-text "molto"
                      #:dynamic "f"))
\relative c' {
  <d e>16 <d e>
  <d e>2..\moltoF
}
@end lilypond

@noindent
Font settings in markup mode are described in
@ref{Common markup commands}.

@subsubsection Slurs

@cindex slurs

A @notation{slur} indicates that notes are to be played bound or
@emph{legato}.  They are entered using parentheses:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
f( g a) a8 b( a4 g2 f4)
<c e>2( <b d>2)
@end lilypond

Just as with ties, the direction of a slur can be specified with
@code{\slur@emph{DIR}}, where @code{@emph{DIR}} is either
@code{Up}, @code{Down}, or @code{Neutral} (@code{Neutral} is the
default).  Slurs may be manually placed above or below the staff,
see @ref{Direction and placement}.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c4_( c) c^( c)
@end lilypond

Using this method, only one slur can be printed at once.  To print
a long slur over a few small slurs, see @ref{Phrasing slurs}.

A phrasing slur (or phrasing mark) connects notes and is used to
indicate a musical sentence.  It is written using @code{\(} and
@code{\)} respectively:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
\time 6/4 c\( d( e) f( e) d\)
@end lilypond

Typographically, the phrasing slur behaves almost exactly like a
normal slur.  However, they are treated as different objects.  A
@code{\slurUp} will have no effect on a phrasing slur; instead,
use @code{\phrasingSlurUp}, @code{\phrasingSlurDown}, and
@code{\phrasingSlurNeutral}.  Phrasing slurs may be manually
placed above or below the staff, see @ref{Direction

You cannot have simultaneous phrasing slurs.

You can specify an @notation{arpeggio} (also known as a
@notation{broken chord}) on a chord by attaching an
@code{\arpeggio} to the chord:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
<c e g c>\arpeggio
@end lilypond

A square bracket on the left, denoted by @code{\arpeggioBracket},
is used to indicate that the chord should @emph{not} be
arpeggiated:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
\arpeggioBracket
<c e g c>\arpeggio
@end lilypond

The direction of the arpeggio can be denoted by adding an
arrowhead to the wiggly line.  This is done with the commands
@code{arpeggioUp} and @code{arpeggioDown}.  @code{arpeggioNeutral}
reverts to the arrow-less version:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
\new Voice {
  \arpeggioUp
  <c e g c>\arpeggio
  \arpeggioDown
  <c e g c>\arpeggio
