For example: @lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2] c4\staccato c\mordent b2\turn c1\fermata @end lilypond @cindex marcato @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}. Articulations are @code{Script} objects. Their properties are described more fully in @rinternals{Script}. In addition to articulations, text and markups can be attached to notes. See @ref{Text scripts}.

The dynamic font only contains the characters @code{f,m,p,r,s} and @code{z}, so if a dynamic mark that includes plain text or punctuation symbols is desired, markup commands that reverts font family and font encoding to normal text should be used, for example @code{\normal-text}. The interest of using @code{make-dynamic-script} instead of an ordinary markup is ensuring 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 } } mfEspress = \markup { \center-align \line { \hspace #3.7 mf \normal-text \italic espress. } } roundFdynamic = #(make-dynamic-script roundF) boxFdynamic = #(make-dynamic-script boxF) mfEspressDynamic = #(make-dynamic-script mfEspress) \relative c' { c4_\roundFdynamic\< d e f g,1~_\boxFdynamic\> g g'~\mfEspressDynamic g } @end lilypond The Scheme form of markup mode may be used instead.
