I have run into a couple of pieces that I'm engraving that can't use the
articulate.ly script at all because they start with a grace note. Issue
#4391 (1), describes the initial grace note problem in articulate.ly, but
it is labeled a warning, not a defect. Here is a snippet illustrating why
I think issue 4391 is a defect:
%%% Start
\version "2.25.34"
\include "articulate.ly"
rightHand = \relative {
\grace { s8 } c'4 c c c |
}
leftHand = \relative {
\clef bass
\grace { c8 } c4 c c c |
}
\score {
\articulate <<
\new Staff \rightHand
\new Staff \leftHand
>>
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
%%% End
(Image attached)
As you can see, the synchronization between the right and left hand parts
is off, and it remains off throughout the piece. If there's a
consensus that this should be a defect, I can add this snippet to the
issue, but I don't think I have privileges to add a defect label.
