+Bowing indications are created as articulations, which are
+described in @ref{Articulations and ornamentations}.
+
+The bowing commands, @code{\upbow} and @code{\downbow}, are used
+with slurs as follows:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
+c4(\downbow d) e(\upbow f)
+@end lilypond
+
+@noindent
+and the following example shows three ways in which an open A
+string on a violin might be indicated:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
+a4 \open
+a^\markup { \teeny "II" }
+a2^\markup { \small "sul A" }
+@end lilypond
