+@subsection Expressive marks attached to notes
This section explains how to create expressive marks that are
attached to notes: articulations, ornamentations, and dynamics.
@var{note}\@var{name}
@end example
-The possible values for @var{name} are listed in @ref{List of
-articulations}. For example:
+The possible values for @code{@var{name}} are listed in
+@ref{List of articulations}. For example:
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c4\staccato c\mordent b2\turn
@end lilypond
The rules for the default placement of articulations are defined
-in @file{scm/@/script@/.scm}. Articulations and ornamentations
+in @file{scm/script.scm}. Articulations and ornamentations
may be manually placed above or below the staff; see
@ref{Direction and placement}.

-Spacer rests are needed to engrave multiple marks on one note.
+A hairpin that is terminated with @code{\!} will end at the
+right edge of the note that has the @code{\!} assigned to it. In the
+case where it is terminated with the start of another @notation{crescendo}
+or @notation{decrescendo} mark, it will end at the centre of the note
+that has the next @code{\<} or @code{\>} assigned to it. The next
+hairpin will then start at the right edge of the same note
+instead of the usual left edge had it been terminated with @code{\!}
+before.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
+c1\< | c4 a c\< a | c4 a c\! a\< | c4 a c a\!
+@end lilypond
+
+Hairpins that are terminated with absolute dynamic marks instead of
+@code{\!} will also be engraved in a similar way. However, the length
+of the absolute dynamic itself can alter where the preceding hairpin
+ends.

@cindex multiple dynamic marks on one note
@cindex dynamic marks, multiple on one note
+Spacer rests are needed to engrave multiple marks on one note.
+This is particularly useful when adding a @notation{crescendo} and
+@notation{decrescendo} to the same note:
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c4\< c\! d\> e\!
@funindex \espressivo
@funindex espressivo
-In some situations the @code{\espressivo} articulation mark may be
-the appropriate choice to indicate a crescendo and decrescendo on
-one note:
+The @code{\espressivo} command can be used to indicate a crescendo
+and decrescendo on the same note. However, be warned that this is
+implemented as an articulation, not a dynamic.
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c2 b4 a
g1\espressivo
@end lilypond
+@funindex \cresc
+@funindex cresc
+@funindex \decresc
+@funindex decresc
+@funindex \dim
+@funindex dim
+Textual crescendo marks begin with @code{\cresc}.
+Textual decrescendos begin with @code{\decresc} or @code{\dim}.
+Extender lines are engraved as required.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
+g8\cresc a b c b c d e\mf |
+f8\decresc e d c e\> d c b |
+a1\dim ~ |
+a2. r4\! |
+@end lilypond
@funindex \crescTextCresc
@funindex crescTextCresc
@funindex \dimHairpin
@funindex dimHairpin
-Crescendos and decrescendos can be engraved as textual markings
-instead of hairpins. Dashed lines are printed to indicate their
-extent. The built-in commands @code{\crescTextCresc},
-@code{\dimTextDecresc}, @code{\dimTextDecr}, and @code{\dimTextDim}
-will tell LilyPond to use such textual marks instead of hairpins
-for all subsequent @code{\<} and @code{\>} commands. The corresponding
-@code{\crescHairpin} and @code{\dimHairpin} commands will revert
-to hairpins again:
-
+Textual marks for dynamic changes can also replace hairpins:
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
\crescTextCresc
-c2\< d | e f\!
+c4\< d e f\! |
\dimTextDecresc
-e2\> d | c b\!
+g4\> e d c\! |
+\dimTextDecr
+e4\> d c b\! |
+\dimTextDim
+d4\> c b a\! |
\crescHairpin
-c2\< d | e f\!
\dimHairpin
-e2\> d\!
+c4\< d\! e\> d\! |
@end lilypond
@funindex \dynamicNeutral
@funindex dynamicNeutral
+A @code{Dynamics} context is available to engrave dynamics on
+their own horizontal line. Use spacer rests to indicate timing.
+(Notes in a @code{Dynamics} context will also take up
+musical time, but will not be engraved.)
+The @code{Dynamics} context can usefully contain some other
+items such as text scripts, text spanners, and piano pedal marks.
