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}.
Articulations are @code{Script} objects. Their properties are
described more fully in @rinternals{Script}.
+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.

+\override MultiMeasureRestText.color = #blue

In addition to articulations, text and markups can be attached to
notes. See @ref{Text scripts}.

-@funindex cr

A @notation{crescendo} mark is started with @code{\<} and
terminated with @code{\!}, an absolute dynamic, or an additional
@code{\>}. @notation{Hairpins} are engraved by default using this
notation.
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]

@end lilypond
-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. A hairpin ending on a downbeat will stop at the preceding bar line.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+\relative {
+ c''1\< | 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\!
-<< f1 { s4 s4\< s4\> s4\! } >>

@cindex espressivo articulation
@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.

+\relative {

@end lilypond
+@funindex \cresc
+@funindex \decresc

+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]

-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:
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-\crescTextCresc
-c2\< d | e f\!
-\dimTextDecresc
-e2\> d | c b\!
-\crescHairpin
-c2\< d | e f\!
-\dimHairpin
-e2\> d\!
+
+Textual marks for dynamic changes can also replace hairpins:
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+\relative c'' {
+ \crescTextCresc
+ c4\< d e f\! |
+ \dimTextDecresc
+ g4\> e d c\! |
+ \dimTextDecr

+A glissando can connect notes in chords. If anything other than a
+direct one-to-one pairing of the notes in the two chords is required
+the connections between the notes are defined by setting
+@code{\glissandoMap}, where the notes of a chord are assumed to be
+numbered from zero in the order in which they appear in the input
+@file{.ly} file.
