Are you using articulate.ly (and its respective articulating command)
and/or some LilyPond 2.19?  Either should likely make a difference.  I
don't think that LilyPond can do a lot more than end one note when the
next starts, and it should do that with either option if I remember
correctly.  lilymidi --pretty should be able to show that information
from a usefully small Midi file.

I don't think that much more than abutting notes is possible from
LilyPond's site.  We don't have something like access to "do not tongue"
controllers.
