There is --- it's to do the gruppetto at the end of the trill, that
seems to interfere with the first note of the triplet in the MIDI
output. It's not something I can fix with articulate.
OK.

Not sure what you mean here --- can you elaborate?
One guy on rec.music.theory, in his composition (another program),
started to notate strangely even with unusual time signature, in order
to get it sound better in the MIDI. So one should be able such things
without having to change the typeset output - much of the finer
details of music interpretation aren't notated, but are still very
important for the sound.

actually, LilyPond can't do this yet. I wish it could.
I see you have cc the developer list. Basically what is needed is to
have to timings - for typesetting and sound output. The latter should
follow the former by default, but should be tweaked as necessary.
...I'd also like to do something about trills and turns with
alterations, and do a better calculation for trill duration.

Indeed. The same is true for most of the other marks that
`articulate' deals with. Unfortunately there are no standard ways of
marking that there's a `flat' symbol above the ornament symbol and a
`natural' below; there are several ways depending on context.
In the input, it suffices the notation is transposable: either the
note name or the interval. Normally, the ornaments should change scale
degrees. So a chromatic trill on C should normally be on Db, and not
on C# - this is of importance in other tuning systems than E12 (12
equal temperament).
Also this has to do with the innards of LilyPond. But it may be hard
to fix trills without it.
