Re: Help please: Grace note slur to chord

[Mats Bengtsson]

Try adding a \slurUp before the \acciaccatura.

I hope you know that you can save some typing by using \relative mode
(in this specific case, where you have many chords that are larger than a
quarter, you could stick to absolute octaves, but still save lots of typing
by inputting the music one octave down and adding \transpose c c'
in front of the first "{"). Another way to save typing in your example
is to tell LilyPond about the beaming strategy you want:
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 3 4) 1 4)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 3 4) 2 4)

A final comment: I strongly recommend you to let LilyPond take care
of the time keeping and putting bar lines at the correct places. My 
experience
is that LilyPond is much better at finding typing errors than I am myself.
So, just remove all your \bar "|" (and replace them by bar checks | ) and
get rid of all the s64.
