Slurs spanning music objects

[Christopher R. Maden]

I have been playing with the articulate package (which is great).  The
MIDIs I’m getting for my tunes are vastly improved.

But in traditional tunes, legato phrases often span repeats, and I’m
having trouble getting that to work.

tunePickUp = {
  \relative c' {
\partial 4
r8 b'(
  }
}

tuneStrainOne = {
  \relative c' {
a'4) a8( b a fs e d |
  }
}

tuneLayout = {
  <<
\new Staff <<
  \tunePickUp
  \repeat volta 2 {
\tuneStrainOne
  }
>>
  >>
}

This obviously doesn’t work, but I’m not sure how to get the effect both
in the laid out score and the \articulated MIDI.  What am I overlooking?

Thanks in advance,
crism

Bonus: can you Name That Tune in one bar or less?

More experimentation shows that the problem is not in the use of
variables, but that the music objects are wrapped up in \relative.
(This surprises me; I would expect \relative to adjust pitches and leave
everything else alone.)

However, while I can get rid of \relative, I can’t get rid of the other
wrapping function, which creates two versions of every phrase for layout
and MIDI use (see http://crism.maden.org/swing.ly >):

tunePickUp = {
  \sw {
\relative c' {
  \partial 4
  r8 b'(
}
  }
}

tuneStrainOne = {
  \sw {
\relative c' {
  a'4) a8 b a fs e d |
}
  }
}

tuneLayout = {
  <<
\new Staff <<
  \keepWithTag #'layout {
\tunePickUp
\repeat volta 2 {
  \tuneStrainOne
}
  }
>>
  >>
}

I’ll work around this for now, but if anyone has suggestions, I’d love
to hear them.
