Some comments:

  "no octave mark indicates the octave below middle c"

Isn't c' middle c?


The following is mark is enough for the moment .. I am repeating myself, but the
indication of version is the additional value what the manual provides:

  Introduced in version x.


There was introduced postfix syntax at some point in the developement (since
major release 2.0.0). Therefore, slurs, accidentals, etc. are attached to a note
using a postfix syntax:

  @code{note1 ~ note2}

  Produces a tie between notes1 and note2.

The syntax above is "note1-~ note2", although it may be written as above. In
other words, '~' has no meaning without a preceding note to which it is attached
as a postfixer and without a following note that is of the same pitch. 

In other words, maybe it should be indicated that '~' is a note_modifier, as you
indicate earlier:

  @address@hidden@address@hidden
