Re: Articulate script plus grace notes following multiple voices results

I think it is a single issue, but because it happens at the music
expression level, it can manifest itself in both engraving and midi
"rendering". Essentially the articulate script introduces wrong musical
content, that is not present at the input, under certain conditions (an
hypothetical parallel to help categorize the issue would be if articulate
always added a whole bar full of C#'s to the music - it would be a glich
present in both midi and engraving output). In this case we are talking
about adding extra time/pause/rests to the music when articulate processes
a music expression where grace notes follow the use of multiple voices.
Examples:

http://lilybin.com/97o636/2 - Here you cannot see the glitch visually
because the articulate output is not engraved, only used for midi output.
But you can hear from the midi output that extra time has been added to the
top staff after the grace note, resulting in that staff being out of sync
with the staff below.

http://lilybin.com/97o636/1 - Here you can see the glitch visually because
I rendered the articulate output (I understand no one in their right mind
would do this in a normal scenario, but I believe it is helpful here
because we can visualize the extra time that has been added, confirming
that this is not a midi rendering problem, but a problem with articulate
script introducing wrong musical content not present at the input).

(Because GNU's mailing lists archives aren't always easy to follow, an easy
to follow thread archive with the previous discussion of this issue is
available at
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Articulate-script-plus-grace-notes-following-multiple-voices-results-in-timing-errors-td212650.html
)

Where does this manifest in regular use? Essentially in piano and
orchestral scores, where use of multiple voices within a staff are common
and grace notes are relatively common. Users with this use case relying on
articulate to produce "better than bland" midi output will suffer from midi
output with timing issues (essentially resulting in wrong playback with
some staves being out of time with the rest of the music). The workaround
as of now requires rewriting the music to avoid having grace notes
following multiple voices (in my case this forced me to have different
musical expressions for engraving and for midi output).

Best regards,
David Baptista
