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

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:
