 @var{bow-height} determines the height of the bow.
 @var{orientation} determines, whether the bow is concave or convex.
-@var{orientation} should be set to @val{-1} or @val{1}, other values are
-possible but will affect the bow's height as well.
 Both variables are supplied to support independent usage.
