Okay, that's fine. But how do I work around this? There's got to be a
way to create the articulations.

You refer to a list message and mention it will work after running
convert-ly, but it doesn't, and in todays reply say it can't be done.
I realize this application is written for the person scoring classical
music, but there are a lot of people using it for more modern music as
well. There's got to be a way to add modern articulations with writing
entire sections of new code in every piece we transcribe/write. That
just doesn't make sense.

How hard could it be to just add the articulations to the feta font?
Seems that would be most logical thing to do.
