A @notation{crescendo} mark is started with @code{\<} and
terminated with @code{\!}, an absolute dynamic, or an additional
@cindex espressivo articulation
@funindex \espressivo

The @code{\espressivo} command can be used to indicate a crescendo
and decrescendo on the same note. However, be warned that this is
