Use \balloonGrobText before a note or -\balloonText after a note

NR 1.7.2 says "typically within chords,"; it does not say "only
within chords". Maybe the NR needs updating.
It seems that you are a native speaker. Can you suggest a better
wording?

I think that I would reverse the order of the clauses so that the
special case comes first, and reword slightly so as to make clear that
it is a special case:
Existing text: "There are two music functions, balloonGrobText and
balloonText;
the former is used like \once \override to attach text to any grob,
and the latter is used like \tweak, typically within chords, to attach
text to an individual note
. "
Suggested text: "There are two music functions, balloonText and
balloonGrobText;
the former is used like \tweak, but only within chords, to attach text
to an individual note of the chord; the latter is used like \once
\override to attach text to any grob anywhere."
