+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
Their corresponding output appears as follows:
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-c4-^ c-+ c-- c-|
-c4-> c-. c2-_
+c4-^ c-+ c-- c-!
+c4-> c-. c2-_
@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}.
+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.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
+\override Script.color = #red
+\override MultiMeasureRestText.color = #blue
+a2\fermata r\fermata
+R1\fermataMarkup
+@end lilypond
+
+In addition to articulations, text and markups can be attached to
+notes. See @ref{Text scripts}.
+
+For more information about the ordering of Scripts and TextScripts that
+are attached to the notes, see @rlearning{Placement of objects}.
