Re: Synchronizing staves with grace notes

[Mats Bengtsson]

What LilyPond version do you use? I'm afraid you have hit a bug in 
version 2.6. If you upgrade to the latest development version
it seems to work much better. Still, you might need to insert
an invisible grace note in the left hand part to get the bar lines 
correct, see the comment at the end of Sect. "Grace notes". The 
following example works well in version
2.7:

\version "2.7.36"

\relative c'' <<
\new Staff { \time 3/8  << { des16..->[ bes64] ges8[ f] }\\
{ \stemUp \grace { des8[~ ges bes] } \stemNeutral des,4_\( d8\) }
> >
}

\new Staff { \time 3/8
 \grace s4.  \times 4/6 { bes32[ des ges bes ges des] } \times 4/6 { 
bes[ des ges bes ges des] } \times 4/6 { b[ d f as f d] }}
