Re: Making overlapping grace notes

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Maite,

Good suggestion. This is in fact exactly what I have been doing until now - 
including using the terrific slash function, thanks Ponderers!. But for some 
reason in my massively complex score which depends heavily on proportional 
notation, the beaming in this bar, at least under 2.19.25, goes askew, with the 
last note coming before the second last note. I think it would be difficult to 
post this issue to the list as there is no sensible minimal example I can 
generate that makes it happen, and it is inappropriate to post several thousand 
lines of code. [A standalone extract does not show the problem.]

Now I have been doing all sorts of non-standard, half-baked hacks to get grace 
notes as I require them, and eventually ran into so many difficulties that I 
decided to rework the lot. In a communication to me Mr Kastrup pointed out the 
foolishness of trying to do an ‘end-run’ around lilypond to get things like 
this working. I must say this is very wise advice indeed, and I have since 
returned to a much more straight and orthodox use of grace notes in the score, 
and stopped using all the fake ‘little notes’ and so on. In fact, everything 
looks much more smooth and beautiful now.

So now that I am back into using proper lilypond grace notes, I hit this issue. 
Will continue to investigate.

Thanks!

Andrew
