Thanks Reinhold and Han-Wen
I've (partially!) digested the parser and my final conclusion is the
following:
When adding articulations to notes the direction indicator,
@code{^}, @code{_} or @code{-}, can usually be omitted, in which
case @code{-} is assumed. But a direction indicator is
@strong{always} required before
@itemize
@item @code{\tweak} commands
@item @code{\markup} commands
@item @code{\tag} commands
@item string markups, e.g. -"string"
@item fingering instructions, e.g. @code{-1}
@item articulation shortcuts, e.g. @code{-.}, @code{->}, @code{--}
@end itemize

@strong{always} required before

Can someone please confirm that this is correct and that there
are no more note articulations which _require_ a direction indicator.
@item any articulations after a @code{\tag} command,
@item fingering instructions, e.g. -1 and
@item shortcuts, e.g. -., --, ->, etc.
Cheers,
Reinhold
