The ‘articulate’ script
To use the ‘articulate’ script add the appropriate \include
command at the top of the input file;
\include "articulate.ly"
The script creates MIDI output into appropriately ‘time-scaled’ notes to match many articulation and tempo indications. Engraved output however, will also be altered to literally match the MIDI output.
\score {
\articulate <<
… music …
>>
\midi { }
}
The \articulate command enables abbreviatures (such as trills and
turns) to be processed. A full list of supported items can be found in
the script itself. See ‘ly/articulate.ly’.

Note: The ‘articulate’ script may shorten chords, which might
not be appropriate for some types of instrument, such as organ music.
Notes that do not have any articulations attached to them may also be
shortened; so to allow for this, restrict the use of the
\articulate function to shorter segments of music, or modify the
values of the variables defined in the ‘articulate’ script to
compensate for the note-shortening behavior.
