A variety of symbols can appear above and below notes to indicate different characteristics of the performance. They are added to a note by adding a dash and the character signifying the articulation. They are demonstrated here
The meanings of these shorthands can be changed. See ly/script-init.ly for examples.
The script is automatically placed, but if you need to force
directions, you can use _ to force them down, or ^ to
put them up
c''4^^ c''4_^
Other symbols can be added using the syntax
note\name, e.g. c4\fermata. Again, they
can be forced up or down using ^ and _,
e.g.
c\fermata c^\fermata c_\fermata
\scriptUp,
\scriptDown,
\scriptBoth.
Program reference: ScriptEvent, and Script.
These note ornaments appear in the printed output but have no effect on the MIDI rendering of the music.
