You need to put your "music" (notes and such) into a variable, then use that variable in both a MIDI score and a "layout" score: %%% \version "2.22.0" \include "articulate.ly" theMusic = \relative { e'_\markup { \italic {rit.} } d' c b a g d g fis } \score { \articulate << \theMusic >> \midi { } } \score { \theMusic \layout {} } %%% -- Knute Snortum
