Re: proportional grace notes

[Eduardo Vieira]

Hi! I may be giving you the wrong information, but in the Program reference 
(Scheme Functions) about ly:make moment it reads: 
"Function: ly:make-moment n d gn gd 

    Create the rational number with main timing n/d, and optional grace 
timin gn/gd. 

    Moment is a point in musical time. It is consists of a pair of rationals 
(m, g), where m is the timing for the main notes, and g the timing for grace 
notes. In absence of grace notes, g is zero. 

I never tested nor dealt with this, but the solution my have to do with it. 

Regards, 

Eduardo
