+ is not really an articulation, it is the symbol for a stopped note. OK,
Lilypond calls it an articulation. I don't (I'm a horn player, but so is
Han-Wen who I'm sure put it in originally, so go figure!)
% is not an articulation, it is the symbol for a comment (in the lilypond
code).
- combines with other symbols to make articulations: . (staccato) <
(accent) - (tenuto) etc.
It is quicker to type than \staccato etc.
Example:
d4-> f-> g-> a
g8-. e-. c-. g-.
c4-- e-- d-^ f-^
