But in the Expressive Marks section there is no text outside of an
example
that describes using fermata as an articulation. (There is an index
entry
for \fermata, however).
OK, I've added a para to Articulations and ornaments in Expressive
marks:
"Articulations can be attached to rests as well as notes but they
cannot be attached to multi-measure rests. A special predefined
command, @code{\fermataMarkup}, is available for attaching a fermata
to a multi-measure rest (and only a multi-measure rest). This
creates a @code{MultiMeasureRestText} object."
together with an example to show how these are used.
Wouldn't it make more sense if articulations were siphoned off a
multimeasure and tacked back on by the multimeasure engraver?
On the other hand, I have a hard time imagining what this should be
equivalent to when expanded. Fermata on the last bar? If so, I'd
likely place the fermata after the multimeasure rest symbol.
What other articulations are to be expected on multimeasure rests?
