How to encode articulations in **kern data.

Articulations

Here is a sampler of note articulations:

**kern
4ff'
4ff^
4ff`
4ff~
4ff'~
4ff'^
4ff^^
4ff;
=
*-

Articulations can be place on the opposite side of their automatic location by adding RDF entries to force the articulation above or below the notehead:

**kern
4f'>
4ff^<
4f`>
4ff~<
4f'~>
4ff'^<
4f^^>
4ff;<
=
*-
!!!RDF**kern: < = below
!!!RDF**kern: > = above

Hiding articulations

Articulations can be hidden by adding a single y after the articulation.

**kern
*M4/4
=1
16f'LL
16cc'
16a'
16cc'JJ
!LO:TX:b:i:t=simile
16f'yLL
16cc'y
16a'y
16cc'yJJ
16f'yLL
16cc'y
16a'y
16cc'yJJ
16f'yLL
16cc'y
16a'y
16cc'yJJ

A more efficient system of hiding articulations can be done using *Xartic and *artic interpretations. The *Xartic interpretation can be used to suppress display of multiple articulations on a staff until an *artic interpretation is found on the staff. The text simile can be shown in the notation by adding it to the *Xartic:simile interpretation:

**kern
*M4/4
=1
16f'LL
16cc'
16a'
16cc'JJ
*Xartic:simile
16f'LL
16cc'

16cc'JJ
16f'LL

Regular/Textual tenutos

Regular tenuto articulations are encoded as a tilde (~). When the tenuto is written as “ten.”, use a double tilde (~~):

**kern
4e~
4e~~

Additional articulations

Here are examples of additional note articulations:
