+footnotes and manual footnotes.

+@menu
+* Footnotes overview::
+* Automatic footnotes::
+* Manual footnotes::
+@end menu
+
+@node Footnotes overview
+@unnumberedsubsubsec Footnotes overview
+
+Automatic footnotes create incrementing, numerical indicators and
+manual footnotes allow a custom indicator to be created instead. All
+grobs, top-level @code{\markup} and chorded notes can be annotated.
+
+The order in which each grob is drawn determines the order in which each
+indicator and so footnotes are created during compilation.
+
+
+@node Automatic footnotes
+@unnumberedsubsubsec Automatic footnotes
+
+Automatic footnotes take three arguments; the @var{Layout Object} to be
+annotated, the @samp{(x . y)} position of the indicator and a
+@code{\markup} that will appear in the footnote at the bottom of the
+page.
+
+The command @code{\footnote} must come @emph{before} the grob that the
+footnote is being attached to:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right,papersize=a8]
+\book {
+ \header { tagline = ##f }
+ \relative c' {
+ \footnote #'(0.5 . -2) #'NoteHead

+ a'4 b8
+ \footnote #'(0.5 . 1) #'NoteHead
+ \markup { The third note }
+ e c4 d4
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+To annotate chorded notes, the @code{\footnote} must come @emph{after}
+the note to which the footnote is being attached as a @code{TextScript}:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right,papersize=a8]

+ >1
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@warning {When footnotes have the same vertical position, the footnotes
+are printed in order of descendancy; the higher the footnote, the

+
+Here are some more examples of footnoted grobs, also showing the
+relative position of the footnotes to the tagline and copyright.

+0.625 note 69 8 p-c 14 12
+0.750 rest 4
+0.750 breathe
