Re: Articulations in Separate Voice

[Gregory Hollands]

Lukas,

This solution sounds ideal.

I would prefer to add the articulations directly to the music and just filter them out when necessary.

I think I'd just add the articulations directly to the music and filter
them out at a later stage. It's not hard to write a scheme function
that, for example, removes articulations of given types (here
downbow/upbow), and there were similar examples recently on this list.
(A recent change I made to LilyPond itself made that still easier, but
these will only be available publicly when 2.23.6 is released.)

Before I give an example: Would this method be acceptable for you?
