As recommended in lilypond documentation, I separate "global" aspects of the music such as rehearsal marks, bar types, etc. into their own variable which I then typeset simultaneously with the actual notes. However, when I do this, grace notes at the beginning of a measure sometimes appear to get assigned to the wrong measure. For example:
\new Staff { <<
\relative c'' {
c1 |
\grace b8 c1 |
}
{
s1 \bar "||" |
s1 |
}
>> }
I can fix it by adding a grace into the lower section of music so it matches the upper section, but that doesn't work well when I want to use the same "global" variable for multiple parts, not all of which have the grace note(s). It seems like there should be a better way. Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks!
