+
+Various issues may arise when engraving vocal music. Some of these
+are discussed in this section, while others are explained elsewhere:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+Most styles of vocal music use written text as lyrics. An introduction
+to this notation is to be found in @rlearning{Setting simple songs}.
+@item
+Vocal music is likely to require the use of @code{markup} mode, either
+for lyrics of for other text elements (character's names, etc.).
+This syntax is described in @ref{Text markup introduction}.
+@item
+Lead sheets may be printed by combining vocal parts and @q{chord mode};
+this syntax is explained in @ref{Chord notation}.
+@item
+@q{Ambitus} may be added at the beginning of vocal staves, as explained
+in @ref{Ambitus}.
+@item
+Vocal parts may be printed using traditional clefs, as shown in @ref{Clefs}.
+@item
+Ancient vocal music is supported, as explained in @ref{Ancient notation}.
