Let’s not worry about bariolage.  Instead, let’s say I’ve got a flute part 
which is rendered as if every note is tongued, but I want a legato rendering of 
slurred notes.

If I understand correctly, there is a poly/mono MIDI mode that has something to 
do with this.  I’ve groped and flailed among FluidSynth’s related options with 
no success, so I figured there might be some essential information missing from 
LilyPond’s MIDI output, but it seems equally possible that I just haven't found 
the right set of FluidSynth options.

At some point, I may have time to research this issue in more depth, but I am 
hoping that someone here might be able to save me some work.
