Hi Colin

I think you are right, I cannot find any mention in the doc.
It should be in NR 2.4.1

Pull-off and hammer-on are slurs.
Hammer-on when the pitch goes up, pull-off when it goes down.

You can see some example in the paragraph above and also in the examples page:
http://lilypond.org/website/examples.html

You'll find the input file in the repository.

I can upload it myself tonight when I'm back home (I'm subscribed to
that issue).
Unless Marc is quicker than me :-)
