It's just that I've been using Lilypond quite intensely these past two
months, and I've tracked down a few very unnerving problems; the only
specific ones I can think of are two grace problems -- because I've
encountered these very frequently, and this morning again. I am aware
of many possible hacks, but for such simple things, it sounds
ridiculous to have to hack.

So here are a few problems with example, more are to come.


#1: IN THIS SNIPPET, THE GRACE IS IN BETWEEN THE TWO VOLTA BRACKETS.

\repeat volta 2 {
        c4 b8 c d e g4 f
}

\repeat volta 2 {
        \grace {e8(} )d8 c4 ~ c2
}



#2: THIS SNIPPET WON'T COMPILE BECAUSE OF GRACE NOTES AT THE END OF
THE MEASURE.

voiceI = \notes {
      \time 2/4
      d''16 a'16 fis'16 a'16 d'16 d''16 c''16 d''16 |
      b'8 g'8 r16 g''16 f''16 g''16 |
      e''16 d''16 c''16 d''16 d''4 \grace {c''8 d''8} |
      e''16 c''16 e''16 c''16 f''16 d''16 f''16 d''16 |
}

staffUp = \context Staff = staffUp < \voiceI >

\score { \staffUp }
