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}.

-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.

+Hairpins that are terminated with absolute dynamic marks instead of

@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:

-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.
