just a comment to Sect. 6.6.1 (Articulations):
IMHO, the signum congruentiae, all fermatas, the segno sign and the
coda signs are no articulation signs. Historically, they were put
together with the articulation signs into the same manual section,
because their implementation was based on the same piece of C++ code.
Musicologically, I think they should go into a separate section, maybe
called "Rehearsal directives" or similar. Or maybe they should be
just merged into Sect. 8.2.3 (Rehearsal marks)?
I like the idea of merging them into 8.2.3, although make sure that you
include
@findex \segno
@findex \coda
etc
in the revised 8.2.3.
However, I am not sure what you would do about the "Commonly tweaked
properties" paragraph in 6.6.1 when splitting this section (Duplicate
it? Add a "See also"?).
I would simply omit it. It's unlikely that people would need to alter
the defaults for \segno and whatnot -- you want them to be over
everything else. If thye do want to tweak it, they can either consult
chapter 9, or remember about the tips in 6.6.1.
You could add a "These commands are impleneted as Script objects, just
like @ref{Articulations}" sentence in the new docs, though.
Cheers,
