Since the general intention of LilyPond is to support many different notation conventions (at least by tweaking some properties), I would classify this as a missing feature. As far as I can recall, the workarounds that have been posted on the mailing list require some trial and error to get the correct layout, so they don't seem appropriate for inclusion in the manual. An example in LSR, on the other hand, wouldn't hurt.

Developers This topic has appeared on the users' list several times over the years, but acciaccatura with two beamed notes still look identical to appoggiatura with two beamed notes in release 2.11. This behaviour may be as intended. Certainly some music publishers slash the stems of single acciaccatura but print double beamed acciaccatura as very short notes, typically with three beams, and no slash. Others place a slash through the left corner of the stem and beam. I would like to clarify this point in the text in the Notation Reference. Is there a consensus on whether the present behaviour is correct and therefore a permanent feature, or whether it is a bug which may eventually be fixed? In either case, is there an accepted 'best' method of adding a slash now, should the user wish to have one?
