+* Tempo can alternately be declared with `#bpm:128`. This will be converted to the nearest `tXX` command. If the tempo is over `t60` (`#bpm:146`), the tempo and all note and event lengths will be halved automatically. This is similar to `#halvetempo` except that it is done automatically.
 * `p0,0` compiles to `$df`.
 * "Legato tie" represented by `~`, which will use `$f4$01` at appropriate times to cause the note transition to be played legato.

 ### Expression and effects
 
-Volume can be set with `vXXX`, where `XXX` is a number between 0 and 255.
+#### Volume Expression
+
+Volume can be set with `vXXX`, where `XXX` is a number between 0 and 255. This command also sets the current "reference volume", which can be referenced with commands `v+XX` and `v-XX`, where XX is a number to be added or subtracted to the reference volume. This way, you can add dynamics to your drums or melody lines, while also easily being able to change the overall volume of the section.
+
+#### Pitch Expression
+
+Pitch expression can be accomplished in two ways:
+
+* `pA,B,C`, where A,B, and C are numbers, can be used to set vibrato - a slight pitch wiggle that starts sometime after a note is started. `A` specifies the delay - how long to wait before wiggling the pitch, `B` specifies the speed - how fast to wiggle the pitch, and `C` specifies the amplitude - how much to wiggle the pitch. Turn off vibrato with `p0,0`.
+* Manual pitch bends are fairly straightforward in ramekin, using `#bend` and `^^`:
+
+```elisp
+; b plays for an 8th note, then bends up to c for an eighth note,
+; then continues on c for a quarter note.
+b8 #bend >c8 ^^ c4
+```
+
+#### Panning Expression
+
+Panning can be specified with the command `yLX` or `yRX`, where X is a number from 1-10. To reset panning to the center, use `yC`:
+
+```elisp
+yR10 ; maximum pan right
+yR2  ; tasteful pan right
+yC   ; pan center
+yL2  ; tasteful pan left
+yl10 ; maximum pan left
+```
+
+## Hex
+
+For those who want to use AddmusicK features that are not currently supported by Ramekin, Ramekin still supports manual entry of hex values with `$XX`. While these can be made slightly easier to use with macros, I would very much appreciate it if you could open an issue here or contact me via SMWC or Discord if you find you are using these heavily.
+
+## Macros
+
+To make your life easier, Ramekin implements a very similar macro ("replacement") system as AddmusicK - allowing you to define all manner of custom shortcuts for maximum efficiency and tweakability. (Note that Ramekin's implementation of macros is far more robust than AddmusicK's, and will not interrupt other tokens - e.g. a macro called `F` will not be applied to something like `$EF`).
+
+A macro looks like this:
+
+```elisp
+"MY_COOL_MACRO=@smwacousticbass o3 v150"
+```
+
+Now whenever you type `MY_COOL_MACRO` in a channel, it will be as if you typed `@smwacousticbass o3 v150`. This can be used to define all sorts of helpers, including some dynamics helpers:
+
+```elisp
+"F=v+0" ; forte
+"M=v-20" ; mezzo
+"P=v-40" ; piano
+```
+
+Or drum instrument helpers:
+
+```elisp
+"K=@smwkick o4"
+"S=@smwsnare o4"
+"H=@smwshaker o4"
+```
+
+Or anything else you might find helpful.
+
+# Thank you for trying out Ramekin!
