Re: Problem with acciaccatura and articulation

[Trevor Daniels]

Hi Eric

One problem can be solved easily.  To get the slur to ignore the staccato 
dot add immediately before the staccato note:

    \once \override Script #'avoid-slur = #'outside

This puts the dot outside the slur.

The other problems are not so straightforward to solve.

Layout problems are known to occur if a grace note is the first note in a 
piece, as you have found, and grace notes also appear to interfere with 
other commands, like \voiceTwo and \once.  Sometimes work-arounds can be 
found, and in this case re-establishing \voiceTwo after the grace note seems 
to give you the layout you want, if I have understood you correctly; like 
this, where I've used the simpler shorthand for the Stem override:

{
    \acciaccatura c'8
    \voiceTwo
    d'8
    \stemUp
    \acciaccatura c'8
    \voiceTwo
    \once \override Script #'avoid-slur = #'outside
    d'8-.
}
