What do you mean by this?

See my other reply.

Another thing: this:

\after 4*#point { $pitch 4*$len \- } -#cent <>

isn't what you want. It passes -#cent as main music argument
to \after, effectively requesting "a note with a \- duration line
event, at a duration of 4*#point after the articulation -#cent".
It happens to put the articulation -#cent on the note because
of an implementation detail of \after, but better not to
rely on it, and it outputs a warning too. You need to move
-#cent inside the braces.

\after 4*#point { $pitch 4*$len \- -#cent } <>
