Re: When is "-" required in articulations?

[Trevor Daniels]

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
