what the documentation neglects to suggest is the following:

%%% SNIP SNAP %%%
\include "articulate.ly"
musicStuff = {
  c4-. d-. e-. f-.
}

% this will create graphical output
\score {
  << \musicStuff >>
  \layout {}
}

% this will only create MIDI output
\score {
  \unfoldRepeats \articulate << \musicStuff >>
  \midi {}
}
%%% SNAP SNIP %%%

that will give you an untouched PDF and an articulated MIDI, iirc.

regards,
sb
