Methods to create new dynamic markings are also discussed.

@cindex thumb marking

@cindex varcoda

A variety of symbols that denote articulations, ornamentations,
and other performance indications can be attached to a note using
this syntax:

@example
@var{note}\@var{name}
@end example

The possible values for @var{name} are listed in @ref{List of
articulations}.  For example:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c4\staccato c\mordent b2\turn
c1\fermata
@end lilypond

@cindex marcato
@cindex stopped
@cindex tenuto
@cindex staccatissimo
@cindex accent
@cindex staccato
@cindex portato

Some of these articulations have shorthands for easier entry.
Shorthands are appended to the note name, and their syntax
consists of a dash @code{-} followed by a symbol signifying the
articulation.  Predefined shorthands exist for @notation{marcato},
@notation{stopped}, @notation{tenuto}, @notation{staccatissimo},
@notation{accent}, @notation{staccato}, and @notation{portato}.
Their corresponding output appears as follows:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c4-^  c-+  c--  c-|
c4->  c-.  c2-_
@end lilypond

The rules for the default placement of articulations are defined
in @file{scm/@/script@/.scm}.  Articulations and ornamentations
may be manually placed above or below the staff, see
@ref{Direction and placement}.

A @notation{crescendo} mark is started with @code{\<} and
terminated with @code{\!}, an absolute dynamic, or an additional
crescendo or decrescendo mark.  A @notation{decrescendo} mark is
started with @code{\>} and is also terminated with @code{\!}, an
absolute dynamic, or another crescendo or decrescendo mark.
@code{\cr} and @code{\decr} may be used instead of @code{\<} and
@code{\>}.  @notation{Hairpins} are engraved by default using this
notation.

@funindex crescHairpin
@funindex \dimHairpin
@funindex dimHairpin

Crescendos and decrescendos can be engraved as textual markings
instead of hairpins.  Dashed lines are printed to indicate their
extent.  The built-in commands that enable these text modes are
@code{\crescTextCresc}, @code{\dimTextDecresc},
@code{\dimTextDecr}, and @code{\dimTextDim}.  The corresponding
@code{\crescHairpin} and @code{\dimHairpin} commands will revert
to hairpins again:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]

@node New dynamic marks
@unnumberedsubsubsec New dynamic marks

@cindex new dynamic marks
@cindex dynamic marks, new

The easiest way to create dynamic indications is to use
@code{\markup} objects.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
moltoF = \markup { molto \dynamic f }

\relative c' {
  <d e>16_\moltoF <d e>
  <d e>2..
}
@end lilypond

@cindex dynamics, editorial
@cindex dynamics, parenthesis
@cindex editorial dynamics
@funindex \bracket
@funindex bracket
@funindex \dynamic
@funindex dynamic

In markup mode, editorial dynamics (within parentheses or square
brackets) can be created.  The syntax for markup mode is described
in @ref{Formatting text}.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
roundF = \markup { \center-align \concat { \bold { \italic ( }
           \dynamic f \bold { \italic ) } } }
boxF = \markup { \bracket { \dynamic f } }
\relative c' {
  c1_\roundF
  c1_\boxF
}
@end lilypond

@cindex make-dynamic-script
@funindex make-dynamic-script

Simple, centered dynamic marks are easily created with the
@code{make-dynamic-script} function.  The dynamic font only
contains the characters @code{f,m,p,r,s} and @code{z}.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
sfzp = #(make-dynamic-script "sfzp")
\relative c' {
  c4 c c\sfzp c
}
@end lilypond

In general, @code{make-dynamic-script} takes any markup object as
its argument.  In the following example, using
@code{make-dynamic-script} ensures the vertical alignment of
markup objects and hairpins that are attached to the same note
head.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
roundF = \markup { \center-align \concat {
           \normal-text { \bold { \italic ( } }
           \dynamic f
           \normal-text { \bold { \italic ) } } } }
boxF = \markup { \bracket { \dynamic f } }
roundFdynamic = #(make-dynamic-script roundF)
boxFdynamic = #(make-dynamic-script boxF)
\relative c' {
  c4_\roundFdynamic\< d e f
  g,1_\boxFdynamic
}
@end lilypond

The Scheme form of markup mode may be used instead.  Its syntax is
explained in @ref{Markup construction in Scheme}.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
moltoF = #(make-dynamic-script
            (markup #:normal-text "molto"
                    #:dynamic "f"))
\relative c' {
  <d e>16 <d e>
  <d e>2..\moltoF
}
@end lilypond

Font settings in markup mode are described in
@ref{Selecting font and font size}.
