Normally that kind of thing is handled by either program changes (in
the MIDI) or putting the different articulations on separate tracks
(which is really something you'd do in a DAW rather than trying to do
it with scoring software). A lot of samplers handle this kind of thing
with 'key switching' also... but don't think you can do it in
Lilypond.
