@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.
+Automatic footnotes create incrementing numerical indicators and manual
+footnotes allow a custom indicator to be created instead. Footnotes are
+normally applied like @code{\tweak} and consequently can be placed
+directly on grobs (graphical objects) created by most music elements and
+post-events. In cases where this does not work (like with bar lines and
+meter changes, where the grobs are produced as a consequence of property
+changes), footnotes can also be specified as a standalone music event
+affecting all grobs of a given type at a particular time step.
-The order in which each grob is drawn determines the order in which each
-indicator and so footnotes are created during compilation.
+The full form of a footnote command is
+
+@example
+\footnote @var{mark} @var{offset} @var{grob-name} @var{footnote}
+@var{music}
+@end example
+The elements are as follows:
+
+@table @var
+@item mark
+is a markup or string specifying the footnote mark which is used for
+both marking the reference point as well as the footnote itself at the
+bottom of the page. It can be omitted (or equivalently replaced with
+@code{\default}) in which case a number in sequence will be generated.
+@item offset
+is a number pair such as @samp{#(2 . 1)} specifying the X and Y offset
+from the reference point where the mark will be placed.
+@item grob-name
+specifies a type of grob to mark (like @samp{#'Flag}). If it is given,
+the respective grob will be used as a reference point even in case that
+its @q{cause} is not the referenced @var{music} itself but a grob
+created from it. It can be omitted (or replaced with @code{\default}),
+and then only a directly created grob will be annotated.
+@item footnote
+This markup or string specifies the footnote text to use at the bottom
+of the page.
+@item music
+This is the item, a music event or chord constituent or post-event, that
+is being annotated. While it cannot be omitted, it @emph{can} be
+replaced by @code{\default} in which case the footnote is not attached
+to a music expression in particular, but rather to a moment of time. It
+is mandatory in this case to use the @var{grob-name} argument for
+selecting an affected grob type, like @samp{#'TimeSignature}.
+@end table
+
+Like with @code{\tweak}, if your @code{\footnote} is applied to a
+post-event or articulation, it will itself have to be preceded with
+@code{-} to make the parser attach the result to the preceding note or
+rest.
@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:
+Automatic footnotes take four arguments: the @samp{(x . y)} position of

+to be annotated, the @var{footnote} markup itself that will appear at
+the bottom of the page, and of course the @var{music} to attach the
+footnote to.

@cindex footnotes, manual
-Manual footnotes takes four arguments; the @var{Layout Object} to be
-annotated, the @samp{(x . y)} position of the indicator and two
-@code{\markup} commands; the first is the indicator attached to the note
-or grob and the second is the footnote at the bottom of the page.
+Manually marked footnotes take an additional first markup argument
+@var{mark} for making the reference mark. In contrast to automatically
+generated footnote marks, they will not appear before the @var{footnote}
+markup at the bottom of the page: establishing the visual connection is
+left to the user. LilyPond will only make sure that the corresponding
+markup appears on the bottom of the same page.
-Like automatic footnotes, manual @code{\footnote} commands must come
-@emph{after} the grob that the footnote is annotating and attached as a
-@code{TextScript}:
+Other than that, the use is identical to that of automatically numbered
+footnotes.
