RE: grace notes and ledger lines

Gilberto,

Perhaps writing the pitches one octave higher and using "ottava -1."

Subject: grace notes and ledger lines

Hello all,

I would like to ask you some opinion on how to improve the look of grace
notes against the ledger lines, when the notes are very low. What looks ugly
in my opinion is how the beams of the grace notes are not coinciding with
the ledger lines, thus making them all quite hard to read. So far I was
unable to tweak it to get a nice look, so I would be very glad to hear your
opinions on this.

Here is the code:

\version "2.17.95"
{
  \slashedGrace {c32 c c c} c[ c c c]
  \slashedGrace {c64 c c c} c[ c c c]
}

Here is the result:

And here is how Sibelius handles it (besides the typical ugliness of
Sibelius, the grace notes are easier to read here IMO):

So what do you all think about this? What would be the best solution for a
nice looking score?

Thanks a lot!
Gilberto Agostinho
