Mr. Thomas:

Actually the musical term is in Italian. It is acciaccatura. If the little note does not have the stroke it is called an appoggiatura and is played a little bit before the principal note.

Dear community,
I would like to know, how You can call in english those small, stroked out notes, which have to be played as fast as possible.
I think, grace notes is not exactly the proper name.
I have a small example provided, which uses different note-types. The idea is to notate different kinds of rubato.

\version "2.16.0"
smaller = { \set fontSize = #-3 }
normalheads = { \unset fontSize \revert NoteHead #'stencil }
squaredheads = { \unset fontSize \override NoteHead #'stencil =
    #(lambda (grob)
       (grob-interpret-markup grob
         (markup #:musicglyph "noteheads.s2la"))) }
Music = \relative g' {
\cadenzaOn
\smaller g16[ ges f ] \normalheads b2
\smaller bes16[ as g ]
   \squaredheads <des' es > 8 \normalheads a4.
   \smaller dis,16[-\markup{ \postscript #"0.2 setlinewidth 0 1.5 moveto 3 4   rlineto stroke" } e f ]
   \normalheads fis1
}
\markup {
\wordwrap {
Small note heads: to be played a little faster. Square note heads: to be
played a little slower.Grace notes: as fast as possible.}
}
\new Staff \with { \remove Time_signature_engraver   } { \Music }
