+In @ref{Moving objects}, we saw how to move a @code{TextScript}
+object.  The same mechanism can be used to move other types of
+objects; simply replace @code{TextScript} with the name of
+another object.
+
+To find the object name, look at the ``@strong{see also}'' at
+bottom of the relevant documentation page.  For example, at
+the bottom of @ref{Dynamics}, we see

+Vertical positioning of these symbols is handled by
