+Unlike other expressive marks, a breath mark is not associated with
+the preceding note but is a separate music event. So all the
+expressive marks which are attached to the preceding note, any square
+brackets indicating manual beams, and any brackets indicating slurs
+and phrasing slurs must be placed before @code{\breathe}.
+
A breath mark will end an automatic beam; to override this behavior, see
@ref{Manual beams}.
