-In Note, Chord, and Lyrics mode, durations are designated by numbers
-and dots: durations are entered as their reciprocal values. For example,
-a quarter note is entered using a @code{4} (since it is a 1/4 note), while
-a half note is entered using a @code{2} (since it is a 1/2 note). For notes
-longer than a whole you must use variables

-LilyPond has support for both printing chord names. Chords may be

-also be entered by name. Internally, the chords are represented as a

There are also two other chord name schemes implemented: an alternate
Jazz chord notation, and a systematic scheme called Banter chords. The

+Fret diagrams can be added to music as a markup to the desired note. The
+markup contains information about the desired fret diagram, as shown in the
+following example

+There are three different fret-diagram markup interfaces: standard, terse,
+and verbose. The three interfaces produce equivalent markups, but have
+varying amounts of information in the markup string. Details about the
+markup interfaces are found at @ref{Overview of text markup commands}.
+
+You can set a number of graphical properties according to your preference.

@cindex fermata on multi-measure rest
Texts can be added to multi-measure rests by using the
-@var{note}-@code{markup} syntax (see @ref{Text markup}). In this case, the number is
-replaced. If you need both texts and the number, you must add the
-number by hand. A variable (@code{\fermataMarkup}) is provided for
+@var{note}-@code{markup} syntax (see @ref{Text markup}).
+A variable (@code{\fermataMarkup}) is provided for
