What are the semantics of adding articulations to an instance of a music 
variable?  Specifically, to which events in the variable are the 
articulations applied?  Or would it be an error for the music variable 
to contain more than one note/chord to avoid ambiguity?  Does this new 
syntax support other post-events (e.g. \tweaks and scripts) or just 
articulations?

My apologies for the questions, but I cannot recall seeing any 
discussion of this feature in the main list.  Should I be subscribing to 
the developer list?
