@subsection Balloon help
+Elements of notation can be marked and named with the help of a square
+balloon. The primary purpose of this feature is to explain notation.
+The following example demonstrates its use.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,fragment,singleline,relative 1]
+ \context Voice
+ \applyoutput
+ #(add-balloon-text 'NoteHead "heads, or tails?"
+ '(1 . -3))
+ c8
+@end lilypond
+
+@noindent
+The function @code{add-balloon-text} takes the name of a grob, the
+label to print and where to put the label relative to the object. In
+the above example, the text ``heads or tails?'' ends 3 spaces below
+the `balloon.'
