+\begin{document}
+\maketitle
+
+The \texttt{semantic-markup} package provides a set of simple commands to allow for semantic markup.
+The commands are inspired by the XML elements of the Text Encoding Initiative (\url{http://www.tei-c.org}).
+They are intended especially for scholarly writing in the humanities, including about music.
+The goal is simply to allow scholars to write with attention to meaning and content rather than to formatting.

+\section{Package Options}
+
+\subsection{\texttt{defaultquotes}}
+
+The package configures \texttt{csquotes} to place end punctuation inside quotation marks, according to United States usage.
+Use the \texttt{defaultquotes} package option to restore the default behavior of \texttt{csquotes}.
+
+\subsection{\texttt{endnotes}}
+
+The \texttt{endnotes} option converts footnotes to endnotes, including footnotes created with this package's \texttt{Footnote} environment.
+On its own, this option loads the \texttt{endnotes} package and does everything
+necessary for endnotes.
+You can define the following commands to adjust the behavior:
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+ Command & Default value \\ \hline
+ \verb|\DoBeforeEndnotes| & \verb|\clearpage| \\
+ \verb|\EndnoteFont| & Empty (normal font) \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+If you want to setup the endnotes in a completely different way or avoid
+conflicts with another package, you can do
+\verb|\renewcommand{\SetupEndnotes}{}| to eliminate all of this or you can renew
+the command to do something else.
+
+\section{Semantic Commands Defined Without Arguments}
+
+The following commands are defined (using \texttt{xparse}) as aliases to standard \LaTeX{} commands or \verb|\textquote| from the \texttt{csquotes} package.
+In other words, they are not defined with an argument.
+For example, the command for a technical term, typically set in italics is defined this way:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\NewDocumentCommand{\term}{}{\emph}
+\end{verbatim}
+To redefine it to be set in bold, for example, you can use the basic \LaTeX{} command \verb|\renewcommand{\term}{\textbf}|.
+
+The \verb|\strong| command is already defined in the \texttt{fontspec} package;
+if that package is loaded, this package will not redefine its command.
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{llX}
+\toprule
+Package Command & Alias & Use\\
+\midrule
+\verb|\quoted| & \verb|\textquote| & Quoted material, taking care of end punctuation: instead of \verb|``word,''| write \verb|\quoted{word},|\\
+\verb|\soCalled| & \verb|\textquote| & Scare quotes\\
+\verb|\strong| & \verb|\textbf| & Highlight emphasis just as in HTML\\
+\verb|\code| & \verb|\texttt| & Computer code in teletype font (not verbatim)\\
+\verb|\term| & \verb|\emph| & Technical terms, set in italics\\
+\verb|\mentioned| & \verb|\emph| & Referring to a word as a word rather than to its meaning, as in philological discussion\\
+\verb|\foreign| & \verb|\emph| & Foreign term\\
+\verb|\worktitle| & \verb|\emph| & Title of a complete work (of literature, art, music), set in italics; use for books, journal titles\\
+\verb|\parttitle| & \verb|\textquote| & Title of a portion of a work, set in quotation marks, such as a journal article, song on an album\\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabularx}
+\end{center}
+
+\section{Semantic Commands With Arguments}
+
+These commands have slightly more complex definitions, but can still be easily redefined.
+See the \texttt{xparse} documentation on the syntax of these commands.
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{lXX}
+\toprule
+Command & Definition & Usage\\
+\midrule
+\verb|\add| & One argument: Put square brackets around argument & For editorial additions\\
+\verb|\Dots| & Put ellipsis in square brackets & For editorial omissions from quotations\\
+\verb|\gloss| & Two arguments: Put first in italics and second in parentheses & Use a technical or foreign term and give its definition\\
+\verb|\quotedgloss| & Two arguments: Put first in quotation marks and second in parentheses & Same as \verb|\gloss| but using \verb|\quoted| for the first argument instead of \verb|\mentioned|\\
+\verb|\XXX| & One optional argument with default value of \verb|\add{FIX}| & Identify problem spot in draft\\
+\verb|\citXXX| & One optional argument & Make footnote indicating a missing citation; optional argument may be used for reminder of the citation name or description\\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabularx}
+\end{center}
+
+\section{Footnote Environment}
+
+When writing many long footnotes it can be useful to have an environment for footnotes.
+Here one is defined using the \texttt{environ} package.
+You still have to escape the end of the line before the footnote begins.
+Use like so:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+Body text.%
+\begin{Footnote}
+ Footnote text.
+ More footnote text.
+\end{Footnote}
+Continuation of body text.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section{Musical Symbols}
+
+Shorthands are defined for musical accidentals, using \LaTeX{} math-mode symbols.
+These could be redefined to use Unicode symbols if the font contains them, or with commands from the \texttt{lilyglyphs} package.
+Remember that like all commands without arguments, \LaTeX{} will ignore the space after the command-name, so you will need to write \verb|\fl{}| or \verb|\fl\ |.
+There is also a command for octave numbers, for the system in which middle C begins the fourth octave.
+
+If the \texttt{musicography} package is loaded, it will redefine the commands
+\verb|\fl|, \verb|\sh|, and \verb|\na| to use nicer symbols from the MusiX\TeX{}
+fonts.
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+\toprule
+Command & Alias\\
+\midrule
+\verb|\fl| & \verb|$\flat$|\\
+\verb|\na| & \verb|$\natural$|\\
+\verb|\sh| & \verb|$\sharp$|\\
+\verb|\octave| & \verb|\textsubscript|\\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+For stacked numerals, as in meter signatures or figured bass, we provide two simple options, \verb|\musfig| using \verb|\genfrac| from \texttt{amsmath}, and \verb|\meter|, which uses \verb|\Takt| from the \texttt{harmony} package, which spaces the numerals more closely.
+Both commands take two arguments, one for the top numeral and the second for the bottom numeral.
+You could write, for example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+There is a \musfig{6--5}{4--3} cadential pattern
+before the shift to \meter{3}{4} time.
+The melody begins on F\sh\octave{4}.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\begin{center}
+\fbox{\parbox{\textwidth}{%
+There is a \musfig{6--5}{4--3} cadential pattern
+before the shift to \meter{3}{4} time.
+The melody begins on F\sh\octave{4}.
+}}
+\end{center}
+
+For more complex notation, such as three-level numerals, or stacked figured-bass symbols with accidentals or slashes, you will have to devise your own solution.
