#### 6.5.4 Breath marks

Breath marks are entered using `\breathe`

>          c'4 \breathe d4

##### Commonly tweaked properties

The glyph of the breath mark can be tuned by overriding the `text` property of the `BreathingSign` layout object with any markup text. For example,

>          c'4
>          \override BreathingSign #'text
>            = #(make-musicglyph-markup "scripts.rvarcomma")
>          \breathe
>          d4
