+ 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.
