The file articulate.ly writes ornaments as used before c. 1800, it seems: initially, the PrallTriller was four notes beginning with upper auxiliary, which is what this file writes for \prall but used only in special positions, cf. example below from "Harvard conciseā, "inverted mordent", but it was replaced by the variation in the example below, called the Schneller. Also, the \trill it writes starts on the upper auxiliary, an older convention, and slows down with longer value of the note (instead of being on the 32nds).
