Bowing indications are created as articulations, which are
described in @ref{Articulations and ornamentations}.
The bowing commands, @code{\upbow} and @code{\downbow}, are used
with slurs as follows:
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-c4(\downbow d) e(\upbow f)
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+\relative { c''4(\downbow d) e(\upbow f) }

-and the following example shows three ways in which an open A
-string on a violin might be indicated:
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-a4 \open
-a^\markup { \teeny "II" }
-a2^\markup { \small "sul A" }
+Roman numerals can be added as strings numbers (rather
+than the default circled Arabic numbers), as explained in
+@ref{String number indications}.
+
+Alternatively, string indications may be printed using
+markup commands; articulation scripts may also indicate
+open strings.

Natural harmonics can be notated in several ways. A diamond-shaped
note head generally means to touch the string where you would stop
the note if it were not a diamond.

-construct even if there is only a single note.}

Alternatively a normal note head is shown at the pitch to be
sounded together with a small circle to indicate it should be
played as a harmonic:
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-d2^\flageolet d_\flageolet
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,fragment]
+d''2^\flageolet d''_\flageolet
@end lilypond
A smaller circle may be created, see the snippet list in
@strong{@i{Artificial harmonics}}
@cindex artificial harmonics
-@cindex harmonics, artifical
+@cindex harmonics, artificial
Artificial harmonics are notated with two notes, one with a normal
note head indicating the stopped position and one with an open
diamond note head to indicate the harmonic position.
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
-<e a\harmonic>2 <c g'\harmonic>

+(rather than sideways) such that it hits the fingerboard.
