Just to make it clear, the articulate script has no support for
arpeggio as of now.  However, if somebody was to implement arpeggio in
Scheme without much regard to the layout, articulate would be the
natural place for that code.

I believe that Lilypond has a great potential to do everything
articulate.ly does without the script and with more control over the
output, and I hope that the code would improve with regard to the MIDI
support.  Still, the articulate script serves an important role as a
playground for MIDI-related features and could be a temporary home for
arpeggio.
