-A variety of symbols can appear above and below notes to indicate
-different characteristics of the performance. All these symbols
-can be attached to a note using the syntax @var{note}@code{\}@var{name}.
-
-The possible values for @var{name} are listed in @ref{List of
-articulations}.
-
-Some of these articulations have shorthands for easier entry. They
-are used by adding a dash and the character signifying
-the articulation to the note name. The available shorthands and
-their output are:

-@end lilypond
-
-The marks are automatically placed, but the direction can be
-forced as well. Like other pieces of LilyPond code, @code{_} will
-place them below the staff, and @code{^} will place them above.
-This applies both to the shorthands and the fully named
-articulations. For the shorthands, the dash itself should be
-omitted; the shorthand signs replace it:

A phrasing slur (or phrasing mark) connects notes and is used to
indicate a musical sentence. It is written using @code{\(} and
@code{\)} respectively:
-@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,fragment,verbatim,relative=1]
-\time 6/4 c'\( d( e) f( e) d\)
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
+\time 6/4 c\( d( e) f( e) d\)
@end lilypond
Typographically, the phrasing slur behaves almost exactly like a
normal slur. However, they are treated as different objects. A
@code{\slurUp} will have no effect on a phrasing slur; instead,
use @code{\phrasingSlurUp}, @code{\phrasingSlurDown}, and
-@code{\phrasingSlurNeutral}, or use the shorthands @code{_} and
-@code{^}.
+@code{\phrasingSlurNeutral}. Phrasing slurs may be manually
+placed above or below the staff, see @ref{Direction
+and placement}.
You cannot have simultaneous phrasing slurs.
