Re: missing comments, bugs

Please send separate bug reports for separate bugs to reduce the risk
that some are lost along the way.

I guess you mean "macro" or "command" instead of "comment".
Actually, there are thousands of possible (and useful) property settings
and it's impossible to provide a shorthand for every single one.
Rather, a reasonable level of ambition is to explain the art of property
settings well enough so that most users are able to define their own
macro in such situations. If you look in the file ly/property-init.ly,
you will find the definitions of the macros \slurDotted and \tieDotted
and if you just replace Slur with PhrasingSlur, you will end up with
your own macro definition:
phrasingSlurDotted = {
 \override PhrasingSlur  #'dash-period = #0.75
 \override PhrasingSlur #'dash-fraction = #0.1
}

If you want a chord, use the <c c'> syntax. <<c c'>> means something 
different
(see the manual). However, you seem to be right that neither
<c-\bendAfter #+7 c'>
nor
<c c'>-\bendAfter #+7
provides any bend.

The latest manual for version 2.11 (which is the manual version that's
heavily revised for the moment) shows the full syntax.

This syntax was introduced in version 2.11 and does not work with
2.10. Where did you read about it?
In general, I strongly recommend the manual for version 2.11 also if you
currently use version 2.10, but you have to be aware that there are some
differences between the versions.
