Dear LilyPond users, I just came across a weird interaction between articulate.ly and aftergrace. If I include "articulate.ly" then beamed aftergrace notes have a tenuto articulation and are not rendered smaller, even though I never called the \articulate macro. Here's the LilyPond 1.16.1 code f

Hi, First, I suppose the last note in that 5/16 measure should be a fis8 and not a fis4, otherwise the measure should last 9/16 and not 5/16. I tried entering this in MuseScore. The default grace note gets no slur, adding a slur without modifying a thing yields the result in measure 1, inverting
