The next bar doesn’t have any partial ties or slurs.  Other scores in
the same book do have indications of ties continued across line-breaks,
so I’m reasonable sure this was not accidentally omitted here.

Experimenting with the `\extendLV` function verifies Robin Bannister’s
original caveats:

so while `\laissezVibrer` is cleaner code, I think I’ll stick with my

    #(define afterGraceFraction (cons 1 1))
    \afterGrace a1( {s32)}

hack.

Thank you all,
