Hello, I am just wanting a clarification of the difference between the \slashedGrace and \acciaccatura functions. Is it just that \acciaccatura is always written with a slur and a grace note (\slashedGrace) may or may not be? I wanted to know the difference (musically and perhaps technically) the difference between \slashedGrace c8~ c1 and \acciaccatura c8 c1 So I could accurately document this (with the existing examples). The output looks the same. Inferring that \slashedGrace c8~ c1 is redundant as we have \acciaccatura c8 c1. Thanks for your time.
No doubt others will step in, but a) I believe the slashedGrace function is to allow a slurred grace note inside a slur and b) I'm not convinced a tied grace note makes musical sense - it's an ornamentation of briefly playing one note before switching to another. Having them tied is a bit like a single note trill or turn?
\relative c''' { c1( \slashedGrace d8 c2 \acciaccatura d8 c2 c16~ c2) c16( c2) } -- Phil Holmes
