+Articulations can be attached to rests as well as notes but they
+cannot be attached to multi-measure rests. A special predefined
+command, @code{\fermataMarkup}, is available for attaching a fermata
+to a multi-measure rest (and only a multi-measure rest). This
+creates a @code{MultiMeasureRestText} object.
