Re: Using the "articulate.ly" script AND getting nice-looking engraved output - how to

[Peter Chubb]

There's no easy way the way I wrote the code to change the amount of
separation for the default non-legato case.  I suggest adding
something like this:
nonLegato = #(define-music-function (parser location factor music)
               (pair? ly:music?)
               "Adjust times of note to add tenuto, staccato and 
                normal articulations.
                The first argument gives the degree of articulation for
                the usual (non-legato) case.
                "
                (set! ac:normalFactor factor)
                (music-map ac:articulate-chord music)
               )

used thus:

\unfoldRepeats \nonLegato #'(15 . 16) \yourMusic

15/16 is what some of the writers here suggested.

The other thing that would be worth doing, is adding legato and
non-legato or detached as keywords that alter the articulation factor
in the ac:getactions function.
