A variety of symbols that denote articulations, ornamentations,
and other performance indications can be attached to a note using
The possible values for @var{name} are listed in @ref{List of
articulations}. For example:
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right,fragment,relative=2]

c4\staccato c\mordent b2\turn
c1\fermata
@end lilypond
@cindex marcato
-@cindex stopped
@cindex tenuto
@cindex staccatissimo
@cindex accent
Some of these articulations have shorthands for easier entry.
Shorthands are appended to the note name, and their syntax
-consists of a dash (@tie{}@code{-}) followed by a symbol
-signifying the articulation. Predefined shorthands exist for
-@notation{marcato}, @notation{stopped}, @notation{tenuto},
-@notation{staccatissimo}, @notation{accent}, @notation{staccato},
-and @notation{portato}. Their corresponding output appears as
-follows:

-values. The default values for the shorthands can be modified.
-For example, to associate the @code{-+} (@code{dashPlus})
-shorthand with the @notation{trill} symbol instead of the default
-@notation{+} symbol, assign the value @code{trill} to the variable

-The vertical ordering of scripts is controlled with the
-@code{script-priority} property. The lower this number, the
-closer it will be put to the note. In this example, the
-@code{TextScript} (the sharp symbol) first has the lowest
-priority, so it is put lowest in the first example. In the
-second, the @notation{prall trill} (the @code{Script}) has the
-lowest, so it is on the inside. When two objects have the same
-priority, the order in which they are entered decides which one
