@funindex -

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 @code{@var{name}} are listed in
@ref{List of articulations}.  For example:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  c''4\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 {
  c''4-^ 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}.

Articulations can be attached to rests as well as notes but they
cannot be attached to multi-measure rests.  A special predefined
command, @code{\fermataMarkup}, is available for attaching a fermata
to a multi-measure rest (and only a multi-measure rest).  This
creates a @code{MultiMeasureRestText} object.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,fragment]
\override Script.color = #red
\override MultiMeasureRestText.color = #blue
a'2\fermata r\fermata
R1\fermataMarkup
@end lilypond

In addition to articulations, text and markups can be attached to
notes.  See @ref{Text scripts}.

For more information about the ordering of Scripts and TextScripts that
are attached to the notes, see @rlearning{Placement of objects}.

Absolute dynamic marks are specified using a command after a note,
such as @code{c4\ff}.  The available dynamic marks are
@code{\ppppp}, @code{\pppp}, @code{\ppp}, @code{\pp}, @code{\p},
@code{\mp}, @code{\mf}, @code{\f}, @code{\ff}, @code{\fff},
@code{\ffff}, @code{\fffff}, @code{\fp}, @code{\sf}, @code{\sff},
@code{\sp}, @code{\spp}, @code{\sfz}, and @code{\rfz}.  Dynamic
marks may be manually placed above or below the staff; see
@ref{Direction and placement}.

@funindex @sortas{>B} \>
@funindex @sortas{!B} \!
@funindex \cr
@funindex \decr
@funindex \endcr
@funindex \enddecr

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{\>}; @code{\endcr} and @code{\enddecr} maybe used instead of
@code{\!} to end a crescendo or decrescendo mark, respectively.
@notation{Hairpins} are engraved by default using this notation.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative c'' {
  c2\< c\!
  d2\< d\f
  e2\< e\>
  f2\> f\!
  e2\> e\mp
  d2\> d\>
  c1\!
}
@end lilypond

A hairpin that is terminated with @code{\!} will end at the
right edge of the note that has the @code{\!} assigned to it.  In the
case where it is terminated with the start of another @notation{crescendo}
or @notation{decrescendo} mark, it will end at the centre of the note
that has the next @code{\<} or @code{\>} assigned to it.  The next
hairpin will then start at the right edge of the same note
instead of the usual left edge had it been terminated with @code{\!}
before.  A hairpin ending on a downbeat will stop at the preceding bar line.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  c''1\< | c4 a c\< a | c4 a c\! a\< | c4 a c a\!
}
@end lilypond

Hairpins that are terminated with absolute dynamic marks instead of
@code{\!} will also be engraved in a similar way.  However, the length
of the absolute dynamic itself can alter where the preceding hairpin
ends.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  c''1\< | c4 a c\mf a | c1\< | c4 a c\ffff a
}
@end lilypond

@cindex multiple dynamic marks, on one note
@cindex dynamic mark, multiple on one note
Spacer rests are needed to engrave multiple marks on one note.
This is particularly useful when adding a @notation{crescendo} and
@notation{decrescendo} to the same note:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  c''4\< c\! d\> e\!
  << f1 { s4 s4\< s4\> s4\! } >>
}
@end lilypond

@cindex espressivo articulation

@funindex \espressivo

The @code{\espressivo} command can be used to indicate a crescendo
and decrescendo on the same note.  However, be warned that this is
implemented as an articulation, not a dynamic.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  c''2 b4 a
  g1\espressivo
}
@end lilypond

@funindex \cresc
@funindex \decresc
@funindex @sortas{dimB} \dim
Textual crescendo marks begin with @code{\cresc}.
Textual decrescendos begin with @code{\decresc} or @code{\dim}.
Extender lines are engraved as required.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  g'8\cresc a b c b c d e\mf |
  f8\decresc e d c e\> d c b |
  a1\dim ~ |
  a2. r4\! |
}
@end lilypond

@funindex \crescTextCresc
@funindex \dimTextDecresc
@funindex \dimTextDecr
@funindex \dimTextDim
@funindex \crescHairpin
@funindex \dimHairpin

Textual marks for dynamic changes can also replace hairpins:
@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative c'' {
  \crescTextCresc
  c4\< d e f\! |
  \dimTextDecresc
  g4\> e d c\! |
  \dimTextDecr
  e4\> d c b\! |
  \dimTextDim
  d4\> c b a\! |
  \crescHairpin
  \dimHairpin
  c4\< d\! e\> d\! |
}
@end lilypond


To create new absolute dynamic marks or text that should be
aligned with dynamics, see @ref{New dynamic marks}.

@cindex dynamics, vertical positioning
@cindex vertical positioning of dynamics

@funindex DynamicLineSpanner


Vertical positioning of dynamics is handled by
@rinternals{DynamicLineSpanner}.
@funindex \dynamicUp
@funindex \dynamicDown
@funindex \dynamicNeutral

A @code{Dynamics} context is available to engrave dynamics on
their own horizontal line.  Use spacer rests to indicate timing.
(Notes in a @code{Dynamics} context will also take up
musical time, but will not be engraved.)
The @code{Dynamics} context can usefully contain some other
items such as text scripts, text spanners, and piano pedal marks.

@node New dynamic marks
@unnumberedsubsubsec New dynamic marks

@cindex new dynamic mark
@cindex dynamic mark, new

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

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

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

@cindex dynamics, editorial
@cindex dynamics, parenthesis
@cindex editorial dynamics
@funindex \bracket
@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'1_\roundF
  c1_\boxF
}
@end lilypond

@funindex make-dynamic-script

Simple, centered dynamic marks are easily created with the
@code{make-dynamic-script} function.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
sfzp = #(make-dynamic-script "sfzp")
\relative {
  c'4 c c\sfzp c
}
@end lilypond

In general, @code{make-dynamic-script} takes any markup object as its
argument.  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'4_\roundFdynamic\< d e f
  g,1~_\boxFdynamic\>
  g1
  g'1~\mfEspressDynamic
  g1
}
@end lilypond

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

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

To left-align the dynamic text rather than centering it on a note
use a @code{\tweak}:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
moltoF = \tweak DynamicText.self-alignment-X #LEFT
         #(make-dynamic-script
            (markup #:normal-text "molto"
                    #:dynamic "f"))
\relative {
  <d' e>16 <d e>
  <d e>2..\moltoF <d e>1
}
@end lilypond

slurs may overlap a regular slur, see @ref{Phrasing slurs}.  When
multiple regular slurs are needed in a single @code{Voice},
matching slur starts and ends need to be labelled by preceding
them with @code{\=} followed by an identifying key (a symbol or
non-negative integer).

@node Breath marks
@unnumberedsubsubsec Breath marks

@cindex breath mark
@cindex pause mark
@funindex \breathe

Breath marks are entered using @code{\breathe}:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
{ c''2. \breathe d''4 }
@end lilypond

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}.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative { c''8 \breathe d e f g2 }
@end lilypond

Musical indicators for breath marks in ancient notation,
divisiones, are supported.  For details, see @ref{Divisiones}.

@notation{Falls} and @notation{doits} can be added to notes using
the @code{\bendAfter} command.  The direction of the fall or doit
is indicated with a plus or minus (up or down).  The number
indicates the pitch interval that the fall or doit will extend

@node Expressive marks as lines
@subsection Expressive marks as lines

This section explains how to create various expressive marks that
follow a linear path: glissandos, arpeggios, and trills.

@menu
* Glissando::
* Arpeggio::
* Trills::
@end menu

@node Glissando
@unnumberedsubsubsec Glissando

@cindex glissando
@funindex \glissando

A @notation{glissando} is created by appending @code{\glissando}
to a note:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  g'2\glissando g'
  c2\glissando c,
  \afterGrace f,1\glissando f'16
}
@end lilypond

A glissando can connect notes across staves:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff = "right" {
    e'''2\glissando
    \change Staff = "left"
    a,,4\glissando
    \change Staff = "right"
    b''8 r |
  }
  \new Staff = "left" {
    \clef bass
    s1
  }
>>
@end lilypond

@funindex \glissandoMap

A glissando can connect notes in chords.  If anything other than a
direct one-to-one pairing of the notes in the two chords is required
the connections between the notes are defined by setting
@code{\glissandoMap}, where the notes of a chord are assumed to be
numbered from zero in the order in which they appear in the input
@file{.ly} file.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  <c' e>1\glissando g' |
  <c, e>1\glissando |
  <g' b> |
  \break
  \set glissandoMap = #'((0 . 1) (1 . 0))
  <c, g'>1\glissando |
  <d a'> |
  \set glissandoMap = #'((0 . 0) (0 . 1) (0 . 2))
  c1\glissando |
  <d f a> |
  \set glissandoMap = #'((2 . 0) (1 . 0) (0 . 1))
  <f d a'>1\glissando |
  <c c'> |
}
@end lilypond

Different styles of glissandi can be created.  For details, see
@ref{Line styles}.

@cindex arpeggio
@cindex broken chord
@cindex chord, broken

@funindex \arpeggio
@funindex \arpeggioArrowUp
@funindex \arpeggioArrowDown
@funindex \arpeggioNormal

An @notation{arpeggio} on a chord (also known as a broken chord)
is denoted by appending @code{\arpeggio} to the chord construct:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative { <c' e g c>1\arpeggio }
@end lilypond

Different types of arpeggios may be written.
@code{\arpeggioNormal} reverts to a normal arpeggio:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  <c' e g c>2\arpeggio

  \arpeggioArrowUp
  <c e g c>2\arpeggio

  \arpeggioArrowDown
  <c e g c>2\arpeggio

  \arpeggioNormal
  <c e g c>2\arpeggio
}
@end lilypond

@cindex arpeggio symbol, special
@cindex special arpeggio symbol

@funindex \arpeggioBracket
@funindex \arpeggioParenthesis
@funindex \arpeggioParenthesisDashed

Special @emph{bracketed} arpeggio symbols can be created:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  <c' e g c>2

  \arpeggioBracket
  <c e g c>2\arpeggio

  \arpeggioParenthesis
  <c e g c>2\arpeggio

  \arpeggioParenthesisDashed
  <c e g c>2\arpeggio

  \arpeggioNormal
  <c e g c>2\arpeggio
}
@end lilypond

The dash properties of the parenthesis arpeggio are controlled
with the @code{'dash-definition} property, which is described at
@ref{Slurs}.

Arpeggios can be explicitly written out with ties.  For more
information, see @ref{Ties}.

It is not possible to mix connected arpeggios and unconnected
arpeggios in one @code{PianoStaff} at the same point in
time.

The simple way of setting parenthesis-style arpeggio brackets does not work for
cross-staff arpeggios; see @ref{Cross-staff stems}.


@node Trills
@unnumberedsubsubsec Trills

@cindex trill

@funindex \trill
@funindex \startTrillSpan
@funindex \stopTrillSpan

Short trills without an extender line are printed with
@code{\trill}; see @ref{Articulations and ornamentations}.

Longer trills with an extender line are made with
@code{\startTrillSpan} and @code{\stopTrillSpan}:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  d''1\startTrillSpan
  d1
  c2\stopTrillSpan
  r2
}
@end lilypond

A trill spanner crossing a line break will restart exactly above
the first note on the new line.

@lilypond[ragged-right,verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  d''1\startTrillSpan
  \break
  d1
  c2\stopTrillSpan
  r2
}
@end lilypond

Consecutive trill spans will work without explicit
@code{\stopTrillSpan} commands, since successive trill spanners will
automatically become the right bound of the previous trill.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  d''1\startTrillSpan
  d1
  b1\startTrillSpan
  d2\stopTrillSpan
  r2
}
@end lilypond

Trills can also be combined with grace notes.  The syntax of this
construct and the method to precisely position the grace notes are
described in @ref{Grace notes}.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  d''1~\afterGrace
  d1\startTrillSpan { c32[ d]\stopTrillSpan }
  c2 r2
}
@end lilypond

@cindex pitched trill
@cindex trill, pitched
@funindex \pitchedTrill

Trills that require an auxiliary note with an explicit pitch can
be typeset with the @code{\pitchedTrill} command.  The first
argument is the main note, and the second is the @emph{trilled}
note, printed as a stemless note head in parentheses.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  \pitchedTrill
  d''2\startTrillSpan fis
  d2
  c2\stopTrillSpan
  r2
}
@end lilypond

@cindex pitched trill, with accidental
@cindex trill, with accidental

The Accidental of the first pitched trill in a measure is always
printed, even for naturals.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative]
{
  \key d \major
  \pitchedTrill
  d'2\startTrillSpan cis d\stopTrillSpan 
  \pitchedTrill
  d2\startTrillSpan c d\stopTrillSpan
  \pitchedTrill
  d2\startTrillSpan e d\stopTrillSpan
}
@end lilypond

@noindent
Subsequent accidentals (of the same note in the same measure) will need
to be added manually.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\relative {
  \pitchedTrill
  eis''4\startTrillSpan fis
  eis4\stopTrillSpan
